started with an initial application then had a zoom interview, followed by an online test, then they requested a lengthy work assignment, then I had zoom interview 2, and zoom interview 3. It felt like a typical multi stage time wasting process where each interviewer asks very similar questions and zero feedback is given at any stage to the candidate.

After a bunch of emails about an entry-level Media Analyst job, I had a quick 15-min phone chat and then did an online written test. The person I talked to seemed bored. The test had 3 articles and asked stuff like who wrote them and when they came out. They told me I failed this super easy test, which was weird since I'm an experienced Media Analyst. I tried asking for feedback on my results but they just ignored me. Honestly, Public Relay seems like a waste of time and I'm not even sure they're a real company.

The process began with a 30-minute video call focusing on my background and job expectations. Following this, I was given an assessment with 16 questions to complete in 35 minutes. The time limit for the assessment was quite tight, but it was manageable. The next step was an online interview with three interviewers, where I was provided with three articles to analyze beforehand. The interviewers were generally friendly, and communication was prompt.
