Worst interview experience. There was zero warmth from the interview panel and they were extremely rude, judgmental and arrogant. It’s obvious there’s a ring leader there who screams micromanager. It was a relief when the interview ended and would never consider a position at this company. Learn how to treat people.

The process lasted about an hour. I interviewed with the CEO and the Director of Account Services. It was a bit unusual not speaking with any designers, but I did get to show them my work and talk about my process.

It took them a couple months to even get back to me after I applied. I'd seen their 'Free Your Mind' sign and had read reviews about micromanaging, so I was keen to ask about it. But, I never got to ask any questions in the first interview. They got back to me right away and wanted a second interview, mentioning a "personality test." But it was when they said you have to be in by 8:15 a.m. every day that I realized what other reviewers were talking about and that this whole process was a waste. I decided not to continue. Treating employees like kids is ancient history. Free Your Mind, Gavin.

For an internship, the interview process is quite thorough. You'll go through 2 interviews and a writing test to be considered. The writing test itself takes about an hour. In each interview, there are multiple people on the call, but they do make you feel welcome!
