Interview
What to say... After 3 interviews and a long presentation (that took me HOURS to put together), of which I kept receiving very positive feedback after every stage, I received a generic "we've decided to move forward with candidates whose qualifications and experience more closely align with the specific requirements of this position" message from the HR person. That's all. When I asked for a proper feedback, once again they simply said "there was another candidate they felt would be a better fit at the moment". Absolutely ridiculous process and a good reflection of the reviews you see here: a company with no direction, no strategy, and decision-makers who have no idea what they want. It looks like I've dodged a bullet – I just wish I hadn't wasted so much time with them.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognism (London, England) in Nov 2024
Interview
A fairly fast process with 2 stages - initial chat (after which you were sent a challenge) then a formal interview where you had to present the challenge back. The challenge was insanely in-depth for an interview stage - a full strategy (to a really niche audience that required a lot of research to understand) plus actual production of one piece.
For the amount of effort that went in, I was effectively ghosted by the team I'd been regularly and directly in touch with throughout the process, and sent a generic rejection by a recruiter.
