I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Engageli in Mar 2023
Interview
This company is probably the most smoke-and-mirrors shop I’ve ever dealt with. Nice people, sure, but everyone complained about each other or alluded to pretty significant mismanagement during the interview process, then would follow up with platitudes about huge breakthroughs that were just a minute away. Ultimately, the product is the problem. And the interview process felt like they were trying to get free advisory or consulting services, not actually ready to go to market.
I was contacted by an outside recruiter, then did video interviews with the head of recruiting, CEO, head of partnerships, head of education, head of engineering, and head of sales. I met the leadership team in person for half a day and spoke to a board member. Finally, there was an hour-long presentation, for which I was only given a few hours notice and little additional information to prepare. Ultimately, they made no offer but requested a month of full-time CMO work gratis as a “trial.”
