Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Outside em mai. de 2026
Entrevista
I applied to one of the company's editorial positions and went through multiple rounds of interviews, then I was met with a month of radio silence, even through two follow-up emails confirming my interest in the position. I began to feel incredibly ignored. Finally, HR got back to me and sent a very impersonal (and frankly, kind of rude) rejection.

They asked really basic editorial questions that anyone with journalism experience could answer. I was surprised by the lack of effort in developing brand specific questions.

Entrevista
The interview process was the longest I have experienced in my career. I completed six interviews, and before the seventh interview, I was asked to complete a take-home assessment based on real company scenarios and data. The total number of rounds was never clearly communicated, so at each stage I was left believing the next interview would be the last.
I chose to withdraw at that point because the process had already become far too time-consuming, and the assignment felt uncomfortably close to unpaid consulting work that could directly benefit the business.
To be clear, I did not leave the process because I failed to get an offer. I withdrew because the company was taking too much of my time and asking for unpaid work. At a certain point, a process like this does not select for the best candidate. It selects for the candidate most willing or able to tolerate an excessive and inefficient hiring process.

Entrevista
Pretty standard, a little long. Variety of conversations with the hiring manager and other team members and then a take home assignment. The take home assignment was not too bad and took about 3 hours to complete
