Interpret Interview Questions
& Process

The interview had four parts: first, a chat with HR, then interviews with the hiring manager, two designers on the team, and finally the CEO. There was a take-home task that was a bit annoying because the instructions weren't super clear. I had to redo it without much help, and it felt like they weren't really considering me anymore. For a minimum wage job, they had a lot of expectations, so it felt like a waste of time. Glad it didn't work out though, thinking about the company culture, pay, and work.

The interview process was very detail-oriented, with a lot of questions about the company. I'd say the interviewer had high expectations for the responses, making it one of the more difficult interviews. Also, communication from the company was terrible.

The whole thing took about a month. First, I got some written questions via LinkedIn, then a phone call where they asked pretty much the same stuff. After that, I went to their SF office for an in-person interview. Then, there was a 3-hour video call with people from LA and a Powerpoint assessment. I'm guessing that was it, but honestly, I never heard back after the video interview and assessment. The whole process could've been way more organized. Scheduling got harder and harder. There was never one person to talk to, just random emails from strangers to set up the next thing. I even had to email my resume to the person interviewing me. In the last interview, two out of three people barely introduced themselves, so I had no idea who they were or what they did. The assessment itself was fine, just basic survey/research questions, asking about my favorite movies/games, fixing up an article that seemed like it was written by someone not great at English, and an online personality test. They asked the same basic stuff over and over, like 'tell me about yourself', 'favorite video game', and the classic 'why should we hire you?'. Like I said, no response after the last part, which wasn't shocking since they struggled to even schedule it. They posted the job again two weeks later. It was unclear what they wanted other than someone who plays online multiplayer games for teenagers.

So I applied online and heard back from the hiring manager in less than a week. I had to answer 4 pre-screening questions about my interests and the company. Then I had a short phone interview with the hiring manager, about 10-15 minutes, mostly to screen me. They asked me to go over my resume, explain why I'm interested in the company, and why I want this type of job. The last part was the most involved. I went to the LA office to meet the team, and it took around 3-4 hours. I met with 3 different groups of people, 5 people in total. They asked me general interview questions, nothing unexpected. After that, I did a skills test that took over an hour, testing my basic math, design, and copywriting skills. It wasn't too hard. They also had me take a personality test at the end.
