I applied online. I interviewed at HS Brands in Sep 2021
Interview
Friendly, casual virtual interview. The manager was professional and kind. She asked the typical interview questions and asked for references. Had to complete a basic editing skills test. Overall a pleasant experience.

Tell me about your editing and proofreading experience.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at HS Brands
Interview
While the overall interviews were great, they kept us waiting for hours between the interviews. My only issue with the company was that they offered around 50% less than what my expectation was...even lesser than what I earned as a freelancer. They refused to acknowledge my freelancing editing experience of two years..and wanted to offer compensation based on a non-editing entry level job done years ago! While they did revise their offer after I declined their initial offer (obviously), my overall impression was they do not respect their personnel enough to offer them proper compensation.

Question 1
The questions were pretty easy. There was an editing test which tested one's basic grammar.
