Applied online and did a recruiter phone screen. The recruiter was bored sounding, rude, and condescending. I felt a lack of respect and decided halfway through the call I didn’t want to work for them.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Spiro in Feb 2025
Interview
Traditional interview process. 30-minute call with internal recruiter asking canned, antiquated questions. Next two video calls were with hiring managers. First hiring manager was pleasant and easy to talk to. Second hiring manager seemed defensive in her tone, maybe she was having a bad day or was burned out from interviewing. Emphasized the job was primarily designing Powerpoint presentations and will not accept other presentation design formats/file types. Two other people sat in on the second video call and just watched/listened. It felt awkward.

The hiring manager joined the virtual interview late without any apologies and asked me to turn on the camera while his was off. He rushed through the questions, and when it was my turn to answer, he brushed me off by saying, "I have already seen that in your CV." Disappointed.
