I feel a lot better after reading about everybody else's terrible experiences with their interview process knowing that it wasn't my fault things went poorly. I too had a very long and drawn out experience that resulted in NO results. The process consisted of a phone interview, followed by a whole day presenting my portfolio and presenting on improvements I thought could be made on their site The presentation itself took me about 7 hours over 2 days to complete. I took 2 half days from work to get it done, and an entire vacation day for the in-person. Around 6 people were at the meeting. They did seem interested and were very polite with their questions, listening to my suggestions and critiques. Some seemed interested and some seemed bored. I was wondering why those ppl even bothered showing up. I received a curt email 4 weeks later that they decided to go in another direction, despite having followed up once each week after the interview. After wasting vacation time on work and spending hours on their assignment, they could have had the common courtesy to tell me earlier. I have 7 years of design experience from notable and established companies and frankly felt like they are in desperate need for someone to clean up their site. I was really surprised with the way I was rejected. I agree with the other person that they were probably trying to squeeze free work out of me and it really left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. REALLY consider if you are ready to spend hours of work for this company with the high chance of getting nothing in return. It’s probably better I didn’t get the job. If this is how they treat people who are doing valuable work for them for FREE, I can’t imagine how poorly they treat people they are paying.
