My experience:
The interview process at MyBambu was disappointingly unprofessional and disorganized. Despite initial promising interactions, including interviews with high level executives, the company failed to maintain clear communication or respect for my time. The extended periods of silence, followed by vague explanations and ultimately learning the position had been filled months later, left a very negative impression. This experience suggests a lack of regard for potential employees and raises concerns about MyBambu's overall professionalism and organization.
I would not recommend this company to other job seekers, as the hiring process demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates' time and effort. Potential applicants should be prepared for a potentially frustrating and drawn out experience with little to no closure.
