I was called in to Ignite for the in-person interview. While there I met with Alan Bush, John Lincoln, and Krishan Coughran. Each brought their own questions and perspective to the interview. Alan - great guy to talk to. He really knows his SEO stuff. Alan was a solid background and appears to create a dynamic work environment. I enjoyed his off-beat SEO related questions. Thank you for not asking the typical "how do you respond to a troubled client" question. Krishan - very well dressed and smart man. He appreciated that I came in wearing a suit. I guess not a lot of people do that. Dressing for marketing/advertising jobs can be so awkward. Let me wear a suit while the guy interviewing me is rocking flip flops and board shorts. Definitely a man who knows what he is doing in his role. John - kind of came off being very hands on. I will say he is passionate if lacking a sense of humor. Felt like the type of CEO/boss who values clients more than workers. But I could be wrong. In the end I never got an offer nor did I get a rejection email. It was like the relationship where you go on a couple of dates and just don't bother calling/texting each other again. The company lacks a true HR department, which could be problematic in theory. It looks like they are doing decent work. The office was dead quiet when I walked in, which I don't particularly care for. I know we have to do work, but having some music or talking going on is nice. Had I been given an offer I honestly don't know if I would have taken it. Working with Alan would have been great. I know I could have learned so much from him. I also feel Krishan would have educated me on numerous business aspects outside of my scope. I just feel like John would have been the overbearing boss and micromanaged. I of course could be wrong, but that was just the impression I got. The mere fact he got hung up on a joke I made in an interview when everyone else was clearly laughing at its tongue-in-cheek aspect is a huge red flag for me. He does teach at UCSD, so he does know a thing or two about digital marketing. I would sign up for his class. UPDATE - John has gone out of his way to make amends and explain everything that transpired with the interview and radio silence. He is a man that truly cares about his business and image. He sent me three emails and I truly appreciate him explaining everything to me. I have a more favorable opinion now.
