I applied in late August. I had a phone screening with the hiring manager 3 weeks later. 2 weeks after that, I went in for an in-person interview, which consisted of a 1:1 with the hiring manager, a 3-person panel interview, and another 1:1. 2 weeks after that, I had final call with the CMO. This was a disaster and the worst phone interview/experience I've ever had. He was 10 minutes late, had technical difficulties twice, meaning he had to call me back twice, and he was incredibly unprepared. He did not read my resume before hand and he had no prepared questions. This meant that, after a brief introduction of myself, I had to lead the rest of the interview. I had prepared around 5 questions to ask, but he answered them shortly, vaguely, or responded with "That's a better question to ask the hiring manager." It was like pulling teeth, and it only lasted about 15 minutes. I thought for sure I would not receive an offer. However, I did receive an offer, a little more than a week after the disastrous final interview. The offer I thought, however, was much lower than market value for this type of position in Austin, at $65,000. The offer would have been about a 3% raise from my previous position, and would not even cover the cost of living increase from rent and my medical expenses would go up under their benefits. The hiring manager, who was definitely the best part about, asked me what I thought of the initial offer and I told him I'd have to take some time to consider, and that I was a little surprised due to the title and amount of education, experience, skills, etc. required for this position. He came back a day or two later and informed me that he got the approval to offer $3000 more, which was very nice, but did not make much of a difference to my budget, considering that I also had to cover moving expenses. Ultimately, I turned down the offer because I could not afford to accept it. Considering they marketed themselves as a no-frills company (gray, interior cubicles, no additional perks, basic benefits), I thought that the savings might have been passed back to the employees, but this was not the case.
