Like other Marketing candidates have mentioned, the process felt pretty straightforward and the conversations felt like they flowed naturally and were ultimately productive. After interviewing with a junior HR employee, the CEO, and then finally the Creative Director I was ultimately told that they were "moving forward with other candidates whose experience and skills more closely watch what we are looking for." I was disappointed to get such a shallow rejection given the tenor of the conversation and the fact that my skills and experience aligned so closely with the job description. I respect the company's decision, but can't help but feel like the interview process was performative and may have been a way to source marketing ideas from qualified candidates.

Interview process lasted about 3-4 weeks, with one interview with a team member each week. Went through 4 rounds of interviews starting with the CEO, then with head of Marketing, Creative Director and Director of Partnerships. All of these interviews lasted 30+ minutes and were fairly straightforward. The questions were mostly behavioral as well as some technical experience questions. After going through 4 rounds of interviews I followed up after not hearing anything back and never was contacted by Adelaide again. In the future, it would be courteous to extend an email to simply decline a candidate who has been through 4 rounds of interviews and dedicated significant time and energy to prepare. Company seemed great--super smart and passionate people. Unfortunate their recruiting process fell short in the way of professionalism.
