All I can say is - RUN. If you're anything like me, you may be reading all the negative reviews for this company and thinking, maybe I'll be different. Maybe it's not as bad as people are making it out to be. But after interviewing, I realized that these reviews were right and I should have listened.
A few weeks after applying, a recruiter reached out to me to set up a phone interview with one of the managers. I expected this to be much more professional and informational than it was. Rather it was a 10 minute phone call in which the manager asked me maybe one question about myself. It was unprofessional from the very beginning, as someone who is supposed to be in a leadership role was speaking poorly about the other departments and the overall structure of the company. The word "siloed" was used many times. While this initial phone call made me somewhat skeptical, I moved forward with them for a Skype interview.
I interviewed with several different people. Once again, they seemed more concerned with talking about the company and the role, and speaking negatively about the overall relationships amongst departments, than actually taking the time to get to know me and ask me about what I could bring to the table. I had prepared several questions to ask them, and they seemed rather annoyed by that. Honestly I probably had more questions prepared for them than they did for me.
The role they described in the interviews was entirely different than the role they advertised online. What sounded like a mid-level position for someone with 3-5 years of experience, would actually be more appropriate for a recent college graduate. I can only imagine what the pay would be for it.
But it wasn't just the unprofessionalism and unnecessary drama/gossip that left a sour taste in my mouth. After my video interview, I was left with radio silence. I reached out multiple times to the recruiter who I had been in contact with, and got no response. I understand this sometimes happens, but companies should value the time and effort that applicants spend, and respect it enough to send them a simple email about whether or not they are still in the running for the job. For a company that brags about the experience they want to create for their employees and customers, they should maybe start with creating a better interviewing experience for prospective employees.
