Telephone screen, in-person Interview, assessment. I did a phone screen with the HR assistant and a face to face with the HR manager. First, this company has a real diversity problem with a hint of nepotism. They have a team of people that all are culturally similar. They also allow family members to work together, so add to the mix. I was asked to do a “marketing scenario” that came with no instructions that I had to do on my own computer. It really felt like they were just collecting my intellectual property to use in their real life business without paying me for it. I received an e-mail the following week saying I was not qualified (I’m over qualified) and that the current marketing team (who has less experience than me combined- via LinkedIn) did not identify with my responses. Despite their success, stay away, they cannot continue to be successful under this HR model, it will end in a lawsuit or major attrition.

The interview process was standard. A recruiter gave a screening call, and the next two rounds were with the Director and a Supervisor, both over Zoom. The process was very quick in terms of scheduling, but each interviewer gave me their time and undivided attention when I asked/answered questions. It was professional and efficient.
