It might not actually be a SCAM, but sure smells like one. They emailed me the day after I applied and asked me to come in for a preliminary screening interview later that week. They said that their interview process has already begun but that they still had a few opening slots that week. When I got there, there were at least 50 people stuffed in a tiny office lobby. During the interview, they said they were interviewing 150 people that day. The first interivew was maybe 5-7 minutes and while they originally said they would give me a chance to ask questions, I never was able to. They went over a vague outline of the company structure, asked very few question about myself, and rushed me out the door telling me they would call me to let me know if it was a yes or a no that night. They called me back two hours later to invite me to spend the whole day with the team in a second interview. They sent multiple email and text reminders for our 9am interview. But when I got there, I waited for over an hour with a room of nearly 50 people again until they called me back. They put us in groups of two with a sales associate and told us they were going to cut one of us before lunch. They told us to turn our phones off because it was "proper interview ettique" and not share answers or talk to eachother too much because we were competing. Then, they took us to deep Brooklyn and gave us a run down of the company in a coffee shop and told us not to ask questions until later in the day. Then, we went business to business in the neighborhood asking them about their electric bill. No one wanted to talk to us. No one knew what we were talking about. All the business owners felt uncomfortable and pressured. When I told the sales associate it wasn't a good fit for me, I got a really manipulative response about not seeing the greater vision. They should have been a lot more upfront with what the job was. Everytime I asked, the question was avoided until I was leaving and I asked if this is what I would be doing day one of the job (the answer was yes). They call themselves CTB Global now. They also share an office with Loop It NYC, which my friend interviewed with and had the same sketchy experience (almost identical).

This place is a complete scam. It's the same as Loop and Haywire. They have impressive websites but no list of clients or anything. The waiting room was full of other people interviewing. SCAM!!
