Entrevista
The hiring process took approximately three weeks and included several stages. First, I was asked to record a video answering some questions. This was followed by an interview with the Professional Services Manager and then a technical assessment, which took me a few hours to complete. Afterward, I had an interview with the Owner, and finally, I was interviewed by the Chief of Staff and the Account Manager.
Overall, the process felt very lengthy and required a significant investment of time and energy. I feel like I was possibly strung along or “kept warm” as a backup.
After three interviews, a video interview, and technical assessment I was not selected, and when I asked for feedback they let me know that they do not provide feedback.
I wanted to note that the final interview felt awkward. I wondered if the decision may have already been made as the participants did not seem very enthusiastic or interested, and one question asking if there were reasons in my personal life that made me want to work remotely felt inappropriate and unrelated to my professional qualifications.

Entrevista
I applied online, then corresponded via email and answered a questionnaire based on my skills. Then I had an hour or so long interview with the hiring manager/technical department head. Everyone I interacted seemed fine, professional.
The technical assessment is where I started to see some red flags. They wanted candidates to develop a full WordPress page, copying an existing page, which included custom post types, custom Gutenberg block, and filtering capabilities. We're easily talking 8+ hours of work, plus providing your own hosting for this page. I asked if they offered a stipend or other compensation for my time spent on this assessment, and they said they did not budget any sort of compensation for technical assessments.
I wouldn't necessarily expect my full hourly rate, however, I've typically received stipends of around $200 as an acknowledgement of labor performed, especially if the assessment isn't pared down to 2-3 hours worth of work.
My gut told me it wasn't a great fit. I withdrew my application after that.

Tell me about a time you had to correct a client facing mistake that you made.

An initial interview which was just some background questions about experience. Then you get moved on to a technical interview in which they ask for you to write up a plugin that mocks some functionality of another site. Then after spending hours of your time on writing this plugin, you won't hear anything back until you reach out and when/if they do, they won't provide feedback about why you weren't chosen. Highly unprofessional.
