Starmark interview questions

I was interviewed by what I believe was an AI “hiring manager” on Microsoft Teams for an hour and a half over text. There had been no other human contact except an initial interview email that gave me a hiring number I was to provide during my Teams interview. The next day after the interview I was emailed saying “We tried calling you but you were not reachable” and to call the company for a brief conversation that would take less than 5 minutes. No one had called, and I was reachable. When I called, I was told I had been “appointed” for the copy position. I felt that this was very rushed, and surprised that there had been no human interaction other than the initial email sent. I can only imagine the company needed to find someone right away. Yet this was a full-time position, not a temporary one. I thanked the person I spoke with, yet after I read the written offer, said I still had outstanding questions and would like to discuss them face-to-face (over Zoom) before making a final determination about the position. I mentioned there were some gaps between what had been discussed in the interview and the offer itself. At which point, all communication ceased. I received no reply to my request to meet face-to-face or receive additional information. I found this an extremely ineffective way to conduct the interview process. Ultimately, there were too many unanswered questions for me to accept the position.

1. Linkedin Application 2. Phone Interview 3. In-Person Interview 4. Extremely long wait time for hiring decision After the first 2.5 weeks (phone - onsite interview), I waited 2.5 months to find out if I was going to get hired. (this is a terrible experience) I've heard horror stories with big tech companies like Linkedin (waiting 3-6 months) but still found it unprofessional that I had to keep following up to find out where they were at in the hiring process. They explained it away as being "delayed" so take that for what it is and expect the "hurry up, and wait" mentality with most ad agencies. I assume it was a budget issue and did not urgently need the job. Positives The location is incredible - I'd be more than happy to work at any ad agency with a location like theres with a bar on-sight and local spots if you like to go drinking after work. The workspace is presented as clean, agile, and transparent. The vibe is that this is a forward-thinking place to work. The people were very friendly.
