They will ask you to do an unpaid assignment/case study (which they estimate will take 8-10 hours) before you meet anyone else on the team. It just feels way too sudden in the process to ask this much from a candidate. The interviewer said they had received many case studies from candidates but none were the right fit, so take that as you will. I had a few other interviews going on so I didn’t feel like wasting time working on the assignment, so I withdrew my application. I will say: For someone that is really excited about the prospect of working here, the culture does sound good. But the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze for me.

Awful experience. Juniper Creates has zero respect for candidates’ time and effort. Every applicant is asked to complete a creative assignment for the very real YouTubers they work with. They downplay the scope (“5–6 hours”), while also pushing you to “go deeper” — in reality, it takes days of unpaid work. After pouring in effort, there’s no meaningful follow-up conversation. Roles are often reposted shortly after, which makes the whole process feel like farming for ideas rather than hiring. This isn’t just my experience — there are multiple reviews describing the exact same issues. The company responds publicly saying they “take feedback seriously,” but nothing changes. They defend the assignments as part of the role itself — but this is an interview process, not the job. Candidates aren’t being paid, aren’t being engaged afterwards, and it raises real questions about how many unpaid presentations, campaigns, and ideas the company has collected. Bottom line: This is a ridiculous, exploitative way to hire people.
