Behavioral Technical

I went through three interviews over two weeks, and the feedback was consistently positive. However, after all that, they informed me that the position wouldn't be filled until next year. I was really taken aback by how unprofessional that felt. It's hard to believe they'd waste my time and their own. Hiring timelines should be figured out before posting jobs and interviewing people. Hopefully, this company improves, but I'd be really cautious about applying or interviewing with them again.

Behavioral Presentation

The process was great. HR called me for a pre-interview, then set up a full interview. I met the Brand Manager and Copywriter, who would be my main creative partners. They were nice, professional, and seemed very amiable. The interview went well, lasting two hours, which is longer than usual for a Graphic Designer role, and felt like a good fit assessment. They indicated it went well and they'd decide in a few weeks. I expressed strong interest and sent thank you emails. I followed up multiple times via phone and email but received no response, which I found unprofessional. It's a shame because the job seemed fun with creative freedom, but the lack of communication after positive signals was disappointing.

I applied through the school website for a finance role and then got an on-campus interview. It was a single 30-minute interview where the recruiter asked general questions and shared more about the summer position, letting the conversation guide the topics.
