Process was lengthy but very structured and streamlined. Video call with recruiter, video call with hiring manager, a test and then a half day's worth of video calls with 4 team members. Pros: The recruiter always got back to me when she said she would and they gave feedback after the final round when I wasn't chosen, which I really appreciate. They were flexible when scheduling the final interview, as I had to juggle a full-time job as well. Cons: The copy test was more extensive than I thought it needed to be given it was free labor and an adjacent role to my current one, but I was given ample time to do it. The only red flag was that there was discrepancy throughout on the role's exact title and responsibilities. I asked a few different team members for clarity and they told me different things as far as title and if the role would have direct reports. For example, when I got the rejection, the note had a title that didn't match what the role had been called throughout the process, and one of the defining factors as to why I was told another candidate was chosen was people management experience....but during the interviews, I couldn't get a straight answer as to whether this role would have direct reports. It felt like it was a fluid role they were still defining, which is fine, but that makes it hard for candidates to bring their best in the interviews.

Interview process started out great. Met some cool people and felt like it could be a good fit. After a few video interviews, I was asked to complete a writing assignment that, in my estimation, was about 6 hours of work. I just felt like my years of experience and portfolio of work were discounted when being asked to do work for free.

Received an email about the final round interview for the creative copywriter co-op position (I never did a first round?). Interviewed with two people for an hour and a half.
