45 min to 1 hour long recruiter screening calls (recorded) for two different roles, only to be rejected later. Easy behavioral questions. My sense is that they are recording video for voice/video training models. Why 45min-1hr call, if most recruiter calls are 30 min? No time left for ask me any questions about rippling, role or salary expectations.

1st round recruiter interview normal. 2nd round interview had aggressive, hardball questions meant to undermine your self-esteem. “Tell me a negative feedback your bosses have said about you.” “Why did you leave that last company?” Basically the corporate equivalent of “negging” or pick-up-artist tactics. They were clear that their culture was extremely aggressive and basically just like Uber — during the extremely toxic Travis Kalanick era. The rest of the process is standard among PM interviews with a loop and takehome exercise. They offered a high salary, but not enough to overcome toxic coworkers and an aggressive RTO.
