The process was casual and straightforward. I prefer a casual setting for job interviews to make it less nerve-wracking... so that is a benefit to me, whereas some other interviewees posting here did not like that (not sure why). The panel asked about the different experiences on my resume and I responded. Quick and to the point -- when I have interviewed people to fill open position, I can always size up a candidate in the first 5 minutes unless someone takes longer to warm up due to nerves. I appreciated that the interview was fairly quick and respectful of my time. I asked a few questions and received an offer shortly after. You can never really tell until after someone has started how they will act in a job environment, so I think interviews are a quick judgment of someone's personality and experience for the position. Beyond that, your luck is about as good as a blind date for both parties. I consider myself lucky that this position worked out!

I was called in for an interview. I googled mapped the location and the picture of the building was very sketchy and I contemplated not going. I went anyway and it was confirmed- this 'multimillion dollar' publishing company is run out of an old house. The employees all dress like they are at home on the couch watching reruns of desperate housewives. They asked me no questions and basically pitched me the job as if I was interviewing them. I was told at the interview that they would call me that afternoon with an offer, it was said "I want to hire you". Two days later, the job was reposted online. No response to my follow up emails either. The brand image of the company is so bad and I don't think the employees care. When you are in such a delicate and caring field like autism publishing, you would think your company would care about their own image. It should have been a sign when the Marketing Manager said "my last marketing associate left 2 days after I started working here with no notice"
