RemoFirst interview questions

Hands down the worst interview experience I've had with a company. Many red flags. It was a very similar experience to the previous post, presumably for the same role. The first round went well with a good discussion with the product owner. Rounds two and three (with the Chief of Staff and CEO respectively) were abysmal. They were distracted, giving no engagement or back and forth whatsoever, and furiously typing whilst merely reading off a checklist of generic questions you'd expect from a school level interview prep class. They made no effort to find anything out about me or what I could offer beyond those stock questions and generally gave off a very couldnt-care-less attitude. Some absolute stunners included the classic "3 things your friends/family come to you for", with the inspired follow up of "3 things they avoid going to you for". This whole process culminated, unsurprisingly, in being ghosted. Overall any hiring process involving this little respect can tell you a lot about the real values of the company/people.

I had the first round interview scheduled by the "Chief of Staff". The interview began without any rapport building and dug into questions from the get go. After the questions, when given the opportunity to ask about the budget for the role, the interviewer noted an absolutely derisory target salary and I couldn't but call out that range is unethical. It didn't seem to surprise. The culture seems to be to do everything, but without any resource.
