I was reached out to by a recruiter and the initial call with her was fine, normal, nothing outstanding. I moved on to the next call with my potential manager and he was incredibly kind, aligned with my values, and described the job I was looking for. One that call concluded they presented me with a case study to complete to move to the final stages of the interview process. After reading the case study I got red flags immediately. The case study was asking me to create the most in depth onboarding plan for their partners, asking for insane details that would essentially equate to free labor. I emailed the manager with my concerns and they sent me a rejection letter after. I fully believe that they were going to take my work and apply it to their company without hiring me.
