I had my first interview with Pinkston in January 2025 with a Director. That was your standard first interview, and I enjoyed my time with this person. It was professional and straightforward. I heard back about a week or two later to schedule my second interview with one of their VPs. This second interview took place in February. The VP I virtually met with was a little late which was no big deal, but the professionalism was very different compared to my first interview. In all, I felt like it went pretty well and we event went past our schedule time which I thought was a positive indicator. At the end of the call the VP told me I would hear back from them in about a week, after which I was completely ghosted. I even sent multiple follow-up emails inquiring about my application status and whether I was still being consider. There was no response to any of these emails. I would have rather received an automated rejection email rather than silence considering I put time and effort into the interviews. I understand this industry is extremely busy, but ghosting candidates after multiple interview rounds is pretty unprofessional.

I did an initial zoom interview with one of the VPs at the company. I didn't hear anything back for about 3 weeks. I then had to do a panel interview with three Senior Account Managers. The panel interview wasn't too bad. It can be awkward if the people interviewing you aren't synced up on who's going to ask what when. Overall, it was a moderate process. Not too crazy, not too easy.
