First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Launch Potato.
Managing Editor
I applied on Jan 17 and the talent acquisition manager reached out on Jan 22. The whole process had 4 interviews and a 3-part assignment. I got the job offer on Feb 14. It was a long process but they were really transparent about everything. I actually liked how thorough it was because it made it super clear that we were a good fit. Everyone I met was great and I can't wait to start working with them. They even set up a chat with someone there for me to talk about logistics since I'm an international employee. Super pleasant overall. It really showed how much more organized LP was compared to other companies I was interviewing with at the same time.

Business Analyst
Got an email from the hiring team quite a while after applying. Had an initial screening call with someone from the team, which went really well. Was told to expect an update by a certain date, but never heard back. Had to follow up multiple times over several business days to get confirmation for a second interview, which was later than they first said. Also got assigned a behavioral assessment. Spent two weeks trying to find out what the second interview would cover, only finding out 10 minutes before it started. The second interview was with an executive, and they asked a lot of the same stuff from the first interview. Then, out of the blue, they gave me a "case study" that didn't seem very related to the job description. Still think I did well on it though, answering most questions correctly. A few business days later, got a standard email saying they weren't moving forward, with no details on the case study or anything else. The whole thing took about a month of back and forth for just two interviews, and the team was often slow to respond about scheduling and other questions.

Editor
I had an hour long interview that went pretty well. I asked for a couple extra days to finish the sample editor test because my job got really busy unexpectedly these past two days. The hiring manager got back to me with a rude reply saying I should not finish the assignment and that the company was clearly 'not a good fit.' While I get they have deadlines, I didn't think asking for a small extension was too much, especially since the manager was cool about the original due date. Honestly, I'm kinda glad I didn't move forward if this is how they act.
- What strengths and weaknesses would your managers say you have (considering all your past managers)?
Digital PR Associate
After applying, someone reached out to schedule an interview 3 weeks later. They are very efficient with scheduling instead of going back and forth. The interview was an intro call on Zoom where they wanted to get to know me beyond my resume. But, they asked questions that made me reference my resume and the goal became unclear. The company and job sounded different than the listing. I got a rejection email by the end of the week. I didn't enjoy the interview but appreciated the timely communication.
