Bad Interview Experience with Replo

Replo specializes in no-code Shopify experiences.

They once shot me an email...

And then even followed up.

I was like,

Okay, it would be nice to get to know people. Who knows if this will lead to an opportunity in life?

But then this happened.

That shows the company is unprofessional. I feel significantly less valued and ignored. Especially since words can make a huge difference. "a bit more experienced"? That's just poor communication as a core company member. Also, "realized"?

Some might ask --

Hey, isn't it good that both saved time since they already know it's not a match?

No. If you're cold-emailing people, at least do some research beforehand on who you want to cold-email. Don't reach out in the first place if you take my time seriously. Don't be like a 9-year-old boy who throws shit all around and sees how things go.

Hey, but it's their right as a company to filter appropriate candidates and select the best.

Yes, but they could at least have had the decency to call, or just show up to the meeting and talk to me.

What do you think they should've done?

They should have told me they might be looking for someone else, not canceled the call, and told me they would like to get to know me if that works. Then whoever is seriously looking for a job will say they're good with the call, and others will not be left out.

Even if I become a genuinely 10x dev, I will never work for Replo. I'm just fed up with this terrible communication.

Listen, founders --

• Do not reschedule meetings with applicants.
• Do not renege with what you tell your applicants.
• Don't bullshit with your applicants. Have some respect and decency.

Update

They emailed again, "following up" to schedule an interview. I told them I had already tried to schedule one, they canceled, and following up like I never responded is inappropriate and unprofessional. They understood.
