I applied online. I interviewed at Smart Capital Center in Oct 2024
Interview
They just wanted creative assets to steal.
The first interview seemed ok. Normal kinds of questions. Then the interviewer (not HR, I think she was a part of the mkt team) told me they were gonna send me an exercise I needed to do than needed to deliver within an agreed time.
Surprise surprise, even though the job description wasn't focused on the creative part, they asked me to send copies, banners, and landing page designs, for a specific blog of theirs and a webinar. This seemed odd to me at first, but of course I did it.
So when I sent the finished document, I got a message from the interviewer saying "thanks, I'll show it to the marketing team I we'll get back to you". Well, it's been to weeks, and I already sent an email asking for an update, and nothing. I know that selection processes take time but normally from the asignments you get feedback soon enough.
Be careful, because I see them posting the same job position with a different name weekly and in different parts of Latin America. So I think they are just taking advantage of us. And given comments I've seen here about the CEO being xenophobic and racist, this wouldn't surprise me.
I interviewed at Smart Capital Center (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The CEO will ask you absolutely crazy and racist questions for over an hour, making you feel bad for being from a 3rd world country and like you are worth nothing. I've never experienced anything like that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you live in Argentina? Why do you speak English if you are from Argentina? Are you Jewish? Why do you want 800USD if you live in Argentina?

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smart Capital Center (Bogotá, Bogota) in Apr 2023
Interview
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. the CEO was RUDE, she took over 1 hour on the interview when it was scheduled to be 30 min, the position was about management, but what she said about the duties was nothing to do about it, it was just cold calling.

Question 1
