I had two calls. One was with the CEO, which went well and was casual. The second was with the CTO, which went about as horribly as could be imagined. I was told they were looking for a new Systems Administrator because their current "Systems Administrator" was terminally ill. As they didn't have documentation of their infrastructure, my first duties would have been to essentially "figure out everything we have," and I was on my own to do so without any help. Bonus points for needing to be done in less than 3 months because that was what the doctors told the last guy. In their job description, there was one line about requiring knowledge in, I think, Ruby or some other web development language. When I asked about this, the CEO told me it would be only because that's what they used in their CRM software. When I asked again in the second round, the CTO told me after the 3 months, I'd be expected to essentially be a Web Developer on top of a Systems Administrator because that was the REAL position of the last "Systems Administrator". I told him that'd be fine... if they were willing to pay double what they were offering (which was like $85k/yr with terrible startup benefits but hey, profit sharing!). The CTO laughed at me (literally) and told me that he "finds it funny that [I] think [I] have any bargaining power" despite not being in major hurt for a job, not being the one with an undocumented infrastructure with an unexpected and irreversible loss of knowledge of said undocumented infrastructure, and not being the one trying to fill two positions for the price of one. Believe it or not, that's even all of it. I tried to be friendly with the CTO by relating with him about the city he lived in (Bristol), as I had family living there. He seemed to think it would be a good idea to be extremely unprofessional and talked trash about the country I lived in (USA). I'm no Proud 'Murican (and I think America has a lot to learn from Europe/Asia), but I can only imagine how unprofessional he is in his other meetings with other companies or interviewees. Once again, the CEO seemed nice, but out of touch with his company, despite it being a startup. The CTO was unfriendly, rude, and unprofessional throughout the call. Despite being offered the role, I turned it down because of just how rude this guy was and the ridiculous terms they were offering.
