The interview was pretty easy, and the team seemed nice. However, the HR team was really disorganized and made a mess of things. It ended up taking 6 months of pointless communication, and the job was gone in the end. Total waste of my time.

The application process was pretty easy but it took the company almost 2 months to get back to me. I had a total of 3 interviews with different team members. The questions were pretty standard, and they also reviewed my resume and portfolio.

They asked me to create a bunch of print designs as a test to see if they'd hire me. After I submitted my work, I noticed similar designs popping up soon after. It seems like they might do this often to get free designs.
