I did a few short answer questions on a Google form, then some written assessments about news releases and more short answer questions. Then I had round 1 and round 2 interviews with different managers, one on one each time.

Behavioral Technical

I had 3 interviews for this position over 3 months. The last 2 interviews were significantly delayed. For the first 30-minute interview, the interviewer was 15 minutes late. For the second 30-minute interview, the interviewer was 25 minutes late and only had time for one question. I did not receive an offer, and when I asked for feedback, I was not given a reason for the decision. I also felt the interviewers had a condescending attitude, likely due to their affiliation with the 49ers.

  • Can you describe your interactions with various media and press contacts?

Behavioral Technical

I went through 6 total rounds of interviews including one on-site: manager zoom interview, 3-person zoom panel, HR zoom interview, different zoom manager interview, and on-site in-person interview. The interview process was very long and the number of rounds could have been easily reduced. At the end of all the rounds, no one followed up. I followed up multiple times via email and never heard back. I found out who got the job from their Company’s LinkedIn post. Terrible experience and truly unprofessional.
