All around disappointing experience and real waste of Portland talent. - Creative Watson Creative Employee Review

I responded to a job posting on LinkedIn in 2018 applying to work as a salaried employee within the agency's creative department. A day after my in-person interview, all three partners unanimously agreed I was a perfect fit and told me I was hired. A day later, came the big surprise.... they told me they decided to try me out firstly as a freelancer on some projects, but I then learned they weren't even ready to fill the permanent position (false advertising). The assignments they gave me were a total mismatch, too, so of course I couldn't show them my best work. Everything seemed one-way centric from the owner. Very disappointing experience to say the least! I'm just glad it ended sooner than later.
