I had a 1 hour interview go for 3 hours because they couldn't get the HR, hiring manager, and engineer at the same time.
Ended up telling the sameish stories 3 times.
They offered me a job, then covid happened, then they offered me it at a 10% decrease, then they canceled the contract, then they called me 6 months later. I already had a job at that point and they were begging me to leave.

If a company doesn't have their act together enough to actually gather the people they need for a meeting that they themselves set up, it hints that there are deep management-level problems there.
- hospitalJail 3y agoFor sure, the company was a Zombie company, but the title was somewhat impressive for my age. I even worked at that company 8 years before, they were so petty when I didn't take a pay cut to be a direct hire, and they got rid of me. (Got a 30% raise at my next job, doh!) Ended up getting my dream job to be a programmer instead of a (real) engineer. Now I make more money than ever, as you can imagine.
