Inkhouse Interview Questions
& Process

This interview process was quite lengthy for an entry-level position or program. It involved multiple interviews along with written tests. The later stages of the interviews were certainly more challenging than the initial ones. It felt like they were looking for more experience than what's typically expected from an entry-level candidate.

A very lengthy process for a contract entry-level position that pays slightly above minimum wage (and is strict about "no room for negotiation"). It's also not guaranteed to be full-time after 6 months. There were SEVEN interview rounds and 1 take-home assignment. I'm not sure what's up with their HR, but every email from my recruiter seemed automated/robotic. They also ignored my messages asking if I could get the interviewers' emails to thank them and follow up with questions. Interviewers were different higher-up Inkhouse employees, and they seemed interested in getting to know me and my experience and were happy to answer my questions. I liked how some of them used a more conversational approach instead of a direct interview with back-and-forth answers.

I applied online and heard back quickly to schedule the first phone interview screen. That went well and I had a scheduled call with another two days later. That also went, so we scheduled an onsite interview the following week. All my interviews took place in the span of just over a week, the entire process with initial email, less than 2 weeks. Unfortunately, after the interview I never heard back. I immediately sent a gracious thank you note but nothing. This is disappointing as throughout the whole process everyone was quite nice, cordial, and kind. Even though I wasn't offered the job it's still always nice to hear back rather than being left in the dark. Plus, it's common courtesy once you reach this stage of the process.

I had a quick phone interview at the end of April. Then about a week later, I had an in-person interview with four people. About three weeks after that, I had another in-person interview with three people, and also a writing test. This last interview was on May 31. It's been two months since then and I haven't heard anything back even though I've emailed, called, and reached out to someone who works there. I understand if they hired someone else, but I think I deserve to be informed after three interviews. Not hearing back after submitting a writing sample is unsettling.
