The interview was exhausting. The company seemed uninterested in getting to know me. They just went through usual questions without real conversation. It was discouraging given the tough job market. It made me question moving forward. This was one of the worst interview experiences. HR should have representatives who seem like they want to be there and are interested in engaging with talent. When I asked basic questions about the culture, growth, and salary, I was met with hostility and pushback.

I sent in my application online. After that, I had an online interview where I had to create and present a marketing plan for a new book that was coming out soon. Then, I had a second interview, which was more of a casual chat with my future boss and their manager, but it was still quite formal. They gave me a job offer over the phone a few hours later.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process felt like a waste of time and effort. It involved about 3-4 rounds over 5 weeks, including several Zoom calls and a task that required a presentation. After all this, they ghosted me. I had to reach out just to get a rejection email with a brief explanation for why I wasn't suitable. This is poor practice and reflects badly on their company's ethics.
