It was easy, they wanted to see if I knew how to sell. It was a very chill vibe. They asked basic questions and gave coaching. Just treat it like a regular professional interview and you'll land the job.

The hiring process was quick and straightforward. They were very communicative throughout. I applied on a weekend and secured an interview within the same week. I started working part-time shortly after to earn extra money. I'd recommend applying if you're interested in the role.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process kicked off with a first round featuring three interviews with folks in similar roles, but from different parts of the org. Following that, the second round involved meeting with the hiring manager, who was a Director of Software Engineering, and another peer Director of Engineering. It's worth noting this company didn't have the typical Manager of Software Engineers at the time; the consulting or lead engineer would report directly to a Director. They have since brought in Managers of Engineering.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The process was a joke. The recruiter said there would only be 2 more interviews after the initial call: one with the hiring manager and a counterpart, and then one with the creative director. This was not the case, as I ended up having 6 interviews with 17 different people. I met with various level designers, art directors, the creative brand director, and retail marketing members. Things were fine until the last interview with a senior employee. I was warned they weren't a great person, but didn't expect it to be as bad as people said. During one interview, they asked a question about print and digital. When I explained my experience, they must not have liked the answer. They then asked both interviewees what gaps they saw in my resume or experience, and the other person said the print and digital experience wasn't there. I guess that would have been a good time to ask why they thought that, but it's too late now. One person in the third interview had reflective glasses on and was working on other things. Overall, it felt disrespectful, like they didn't want to be there. So, if they didn't want to be there, why should they have had the chance to judge me?
