All designers, please don’t apply to this company. They’re extremely unprofessional and show no respect for designers, especially when they ask you to create a campaign and dress it up as a “pre-interview test”.
Their hiring process is genuinely inappropriate. They promised a final interview after I completed an unpaid design task that took up my weekend, but once I submitted all the assets they requested, they completely disappeared. No follow-up, no interview arrangements, not even a rejection email.
What’s worse is that after they officially launched their festive materials, I was shocked to see that they seemed to have fed the creative ideas from my submitted designs into AI to generate their own output.
Don’t work for a company that expects unpaid spec work, ghosts you afterwards, and then uses your work to train or prompt AI for their own materials.
