I had an interview scheduled with an internal recruiter, but it was canceled less than an hour before our phone screen was supposed to happen. The recruiting process itself only kicked off three days prior and involved several rescheduling requests. I know poor communication is common from recruiters in this economy post-Covid, but there's no reason to continue that kind of behavior. This is just another example of what job seekers should expect from this company. Hope this helps.

The head of retail called me first about salary, expectations, and my experience. He said I'd get another call soon, and I did within 30 minutes. That call invited me to their HQ for an interview. Later that week, I had a really informal interview. The lead editor said it was done, but I had to do a personality test. After an hour, I found out the HR person forgot about me. I did the paperwork and left. The next day, I got an email asking me to write mock documents. After waiting for weeks, I got a letter saying I didn't get the Administrative Assistant job, which I never even applied for! They really need a writing team. I'm glad I didn't get it; I would have worked with idiots.

Your application stays active for at least three months, so you might get an interview call later. There are some basic interview questions, but how they're asked changes depending on who interviews you. Definitely don't bad-mouth former bosses. Since the jobs are hourly or salary, don't expect to get paid by commission or book time. There's also a basic personality test, so just pick your first answer and move on without overthinking it.

It started with a recruiter screening, then a panel with team members, followed by a 1:1 with the hiring manager, and a personality test. Things seemed to be moving fast initially with positive feedback, but then there was a long silence for weeks. We got a quick update that the salary budget had been reduced and they were still interviewing. More silence followed, then a rejection. It was a pretty neutral experience overall, just unfortunate they missed their own timelines.
