The interview process went like this: Screening call with a recruiter (30 minutes), call with hiring manager (30 minutes), large assessment, assessment review call with hiring manager and another member of marketing team (1 hour call), interview w/ CEO (presumably). I want to note that I had a very bad experience with this company, and others should know about their poor treatment of candidates. 3 different recruiters contacted me about this job, as seemingly nobody knew what anybody else was doing (red flag #1). I do the interview with the hiring manager, and then receive an email asking me to complete an (unpaid) assessment (red flag #2). The assessment is the most work I've ever seen for a content job by a wide margin: an entire content strategy, a full blog post, social copy, and a visual asset like a video or infographic (I actually had to email the hiring manager to ask if I read that last part right, and she said yes!) (red flag #3). Asking for a content strategy from someone who doesn't know the inner workings of the business is a useless exercise, so clearly these people have no idea the role they're hiring for. Anyway, I'm foolish enough to do the assessment, which it seems they like—they ask for a 1 hour phone interview to review the assessment. I feel like I did decently on the assessment, but by end of week I received a rejection email from some random HR person I hadn't interfaced with throughout the entire process. They didn't even bother to give specific feedback despite me doing 3+ days of free work for them. I emailed a follow-up saying that was a terrible way to treat candidates, and the hiring manager apologized and offered to get on a call to discuss what she could have done better. When we tried to schedule the call, she ghosted me, presumably because treating candidates with respect isn't a priority at Pulley. From that interview experience, I can't imagine Pulley is a happy place to work. This was easily the worst interview experience I've ever had in my career, which is why I felt compelled to share it on Glassdoor. Do yourself a favor and run away.

Friendly phone call with a knowledgable recruiter who explained the company and it's mission very clearly and enthusiastically to me. Overall a kind screening experience even though I was not asked to proceed to the next round for this role.
