Communication was really good throughout the interview process. I applied on LinkedIn and was contacted for an initial phone interview (15 minutes) to cover basics and what was important to me in my next role. The next step was an email challenge, where you get a sense of what the position will really entail. After that, there was an in-person interview (where part is presenting what you did in the challenge). I thought the in-person was the most difficult part of the process, but I also found it to be the most insightful to how they worked so well as a team and really reinforced that I wanted that too. Questions ranged in difficulty and there were definitely some that you can't prepare for when you're researching. I received an offer and once accepted, had a background check and references checked. There was also a coffee with a couple members of the team before my start date. Overall a couple month process but very worth it. There are not many companies out there that will take the time to get to know you as a person, not just a person for a role. The Outloud Group invests the time to do this, and in my opinion, it really sets them apart.

The first few folks I interacted with were nice. During the "challenge" review/video interview process I was met with condescending rebuttals from the founder when responding to his questions. Follow-up was drawn out and oftentimes unresponsive. The whole process took months.
