CT Interview Questions
& Process

It was a really long writing process, I had to submit a bunch of different writing samples. I guess it made sense since it's a contract role and they really want to see how well you can write different kinds of content quickly.

This whole process was a nightmare, they really wasted my time. It's the second time they asked me for a skills test, and they lost it again. The first time was years ago, right after I finished cancer treatment. I spent hours on a design skills test, creating a mockup and recording a video submission through their online portal, answering some questions too. It happened again last month when I applied for a similar job. Someone finally contacted me saying their system "crashed" right after I applied. It felt really disrespectful. I also saw on Reddit that they use some really invasive surveillance software on remote employees. Maybe I dodged a bullet, though. Honestly, don't bother applying, they seem unserious and kind of cruel.

The interview process was unnecessarily long and overly complicated, with too many steps, tests, and assessments. It felt exhausting and frustrating, as each stage seemed excessive for the job role. Instead of streamlining the selection, the process dragged on, making it feel inefficient and discouraging. A more concise approach would have been more respectful of candidates' time while still identifying the right fit for the position.

Honestly, I'd say avoid applying here. Once you submit your resume, they'll ask you to complete a short form, then a 15-minute recorded video interview, and finally a 1-hour coding challenge. You won't speak to a real person until after you've completed all of these. The form itself took me about 1.5 hours, and it was full of strict warnings about not copying or using AI, with immediate rejection as a consequence. The technical test, which they claim is 1 hour, actually requires building a full custom WordPress template with multiple settings and a form, only allowing one form plugin. This task is realistically a 10-hour job, and then you have to upload your work back into the same form. The video interview also took longer than the advertised 15 minutes and included questions about salary expectations. It's concerning because they likely receive hundreds of applications globally, meaning candidates invest at least 12 hours without knowing if their salary demands are reasonable. Many reviews mention a lack of response, which makes sense given the sheer volume of custom templates they'd have to review. Essentially, they don't value your time, and you won't interact with a human unless you dedicate at least 12 hours to the application. This is just the first step, with more interviews and unpaid tests apparently following.
