This interview process was all over the place. Overall, they seemed very entitled throughout and seemed to expect me to beg for this job, providing several hoops to jump through. First, they did a group phone interview which was a little much for an initial screening; one person is enough for that. After the phone interview they asked me to send a writing sample so I sent them three. They still asked for more writing samples when they could have been more clear in the kind of writing samples they wanted in the first place. They then scheduled an in-person interview and sent me a skills assessment, which turned out to be the wrong one. The in-person interview went well enough except for entitled atmosphere and the CEO aggressively asking leading questions to which he clearly wanted to hear a very particular answer. Seemed like a total power trip. After the in-person interview, they asked me to fill out an application which included work history and referrals, even though they weren't offering me the job at that point. The fillable form didn't even work properly. It seemed unusual to ask for referrals if they weren't making an offer but at least they closed the loop a few weeks later saying they were moving forward with another candidate, which I was fine with.
