Screener, then CEO, then basic skill request. Then, not a single word. Literally, not a hard interview, the screener is great, very good at her job.
The CEO was tense, eating her lunch, really did not seem interested in speaking to me, and asked marketing, not PM, questions. She asked for a basic skill assignment, it took about a day, then I've never heard a word since. It was truly awful, unprofessional, and unexpected.
I understand that this role was a stretch for me, but to get no response is disrespectful at best. The assignment had me looking at competitors, which was eye-opening.
Take a look at the market opportunity here - CloseFactor has nothing new to present, and I do not expect they'll be around for the long haul. That's fine - plenty of startups are about basics, and they plan/hope to be acquired. But this is a well-established market with too many players who do a better job than CloseFactor will with their small VC investment.
I don't expect to ever hear anything from or about them. Buyer beware for all job hunters.
