I recently had a challenging experience with G2i that I want to share professionally and transparently.After passing their interview process, I was placed into a talent pool. Over time, I began to feel this was mainly a way to build a pool of pre-vetted candidates, which was disappointing. I asked them never to contact me and to stop wasting my time. I left the talent pool. Later, a recruiter contacted me about a new opportunity. I passed another interview and joined the team.On day one, the onboarding felt unclear and disorganized. The team seemed uncertain about internal processes and tools, so I asked questions in Slack to get up to speed. The team lead then asked for my GitHub profile and appeared unimpressed. I explained that I had not actively used GitHub since I was junior and that it did not reflect my current experience. I later learned he had built a product that evaluates GitHub profiles and filters candidates based on that data, which likely shaped his impression.On day two, I noticed the pipeline was failing late on a Friday night. Nearly 50 tests were failing due to timezone issues. Although I was not part of the original application, I spent several hours trying to resolve the issue because I did not want to risk being seen as unproductive.I fixed the tests and spent the weekend pushing features forward so I could feel confident in my new role.However, on Monday morning at 6 a.m., I received a message stating that my contract was being terminated due to a “clash in communication and work styles.” When I asked for clarification, I was told there was nothing wrong with my coding, but that my communication style did not align with the team.Fired in two days. I did not get a meaningful chance to demonstrate my technical ability, and I felt judged on my GitHub profile and communication preferences.Based on my experience, I would advise anyone considering an offer from G2i to proceed carefully and make sure they have full clarity before leaving a current role.
