Things to watch for as a candidate:
* Is the process oddly impersonal with lots of gates to make it through before even talking to the team who is hiring? Red flags - MBTI personality tests. Extremely hard tech tests that even half correct gets your through. Video recorded timed take home tests. Etc.
* Do the people hiring you know how to do the job, are they asking you anything relevant? Are all the interviews kind of high level 10k foot view, and/or in the weeds in weird ways? Red flag - All there interviewees are peers to the hiring manager and above. Red flag - Digging into arcane proof of concept code from 10+ year old white papers that the entire industry has moved past. Not the flex the interviewer thinks it is. Red flag - Interviewers who seem confused why they are interviewing you, don't know what role it is for.
* If hiring into an existing team, are any of these peers part of the interview process? Red flag if no - sign of huge turnover / mad max type org where you are being brought in to fight for survival.
* Is the process unclear, do new rounds keep popping up, do interviews keep getting rescheduled, are interviewees constantly late to the interview? Red flag - Disorganized chaos, do they even actually have a role open they can hire, are they stalling?
