I initially applied for the Digital Media Associate role. I didn’t hear back until about a month later, when the company reached out to interview me for a different role, as the original position had been filled. I agreed and went through three rounds: 1. A phone screening; 2. A video interview with a manager; 3. A video interview with an associate director. All interviewers were professional and friendly, and I had a positive experience during each conversation. After the interviews, I didn’t hear back for another month, so I followed up post-holidays. I was informed that they had selected another candidate. I expressed interest in a third role they had open at the time. The recruiter let me know they will forward my resume to the team, but after that, I did not receive any updates. The interviewers themselves were great, but the overall communication and follow-up from the company were inconsistent. I’m still unclear about what happened in the hiring process.

I applied online and was promptly called 10 minutes after I applied by HR to set up a phone interview with them a couple days after. The phone interview was pretty standard, walking through my resume and talking about my interest in their company and digital advertising. I was emailed the week after my phone interview wanting to set up an in person interview for the following Monday at their Evanston office. After traveling to the Evanston area the day before for this interview. My interview was scheduled for late morning, and around 8 a.m. I receive a call saying their hiring manager is sick and they'll have to reschedule the interview. I hear nothing from them for a week, so I send them an email checking in to see about a new interview date. HR told me that the team was discussing their strategy and moving forward with my candidacy and they would get back to me. A few days after this email I recieve another that says they're not looking to hire for this position at this time. So if you're looking to waste your time with an interview I'd recommend this company. They handled themselves very unprofessionally and led me on for several weeks with this employment opportunity. In the future if they're not looking to hire for a job they shouldn't post it on their own website and other job boards, and definitely don't call somebody in for an interview and cancel the morning of. If this is how they treat perspective employees I can't imagine how they treat you once you get hired.
