The first interview round was with a recruiter and was pretty short and straightforward. But before I would even be allowed to meet with anyone in the department that I would be working in, I was expected to watch 2 episodes of Financial Peace University and do a design project that would take me 5-10 hours. That much unpaid work so early in an interview process was a massive red flag and showed that Ramsey Solutions doesn't respect the time of its prospective employees. There is no ethical reason why people who already have entire portfolios of design work available for you to do should be putting in 10 hours of unpaid labor at any point in the interview process, much less before they even get to speak to another graphic designer. Also, this sort of practice easily has the potential to immensely narrow the diversity of your candidate pool by quite a bit because you're immediately ruling out anyone who doesn't have the privilege to use up 5-10 hours for your free labor. I know that Ramsey Solutions doesn't care about diversity at all, but I would urge them to do better.

Initial phone interview. Very emotionally driven questions about my relationship with debt. I was directly asked if I am a religious person and what religion I belong to which is why I am giving a negative review.
