Before you speak to anyone they ask you to submit a written work example. Then a quick 30 min with the hiring manager and then another long written assignment. This is too much to ask without even speaking to a recruiter
Typical process, recruiter phone call, hiring manager, team interview, nice people. Beyond obvious CEO was a micromanager, his way or the high way, working in the office is mandatory. Work, life, balance was questionable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your experience? Why do you want to work here? Can you work in the office?
After two months of active conversations, assignments and positive feedback, I was informed that the hiring process was being handed over to a recruitment firm and I would no longer be in the running.
