I once interviewed for a senior software developer job at a startup where I would be the lead developer in charge of an international team and on call pretty much 24-7 for any issues. The CEO put me through a pretty rigorous interview process over 2 weeks. I asked about compensation from the beginning and he assured me that it was in line with current Silicon Valley compensation. When he offered me the job, it was as a contractor for $20 per hour. I was insulted and angry that I'd wasted 2 weeks of my life on this. Any company that won't be upfront with you about compensation is trying to take advantage of you. I'm glad this lady called them out by name.
