Entrevista
Playing mind games, not direct with communication, gave me an offer and I declined as there are some major red flags.
I interviewed with this company and they played a lot of games and wouldn't be direct with me about certain things.
Instead of saying "we like for people to be in the office" there was some sugar coating saying something like "we believe that visibility is key to the success of the company."
Payroll happens once a month?! This isn't Europe and the only side that benefits are the employer because they pay less in the payroll costs.
There were some fun things like "coming to a meeting on time is too corporate" which I thought was light-hearted and fun.
The interviewer told me that they wanted me to stay longer even though I had already spent the time originally agreed to at their office. I needed to go back to my current job for an important meeting.
They later expressed that since I couldn't stay longer that it meant I didn't want the role badly enough. This is a red-flag to me that they felt I owed them a longer time than originally agreed to. Its also not a very good interview experience because they are already somewhat stressful and this added to it.
They also were angry when I tried to counter the offer amount which is very normal in the interview process? This was all sorts of wrong.
It's like any push back on my end resulted in them being personally offended.

I have never come across a more unprofessional company in my career. Instead of calling this process an "interview," they should rename it "slave labor."
I understand in the film industry some employers want to test you on your ability. Usually, this is in the form of a one hour edit test. Not at Jump Ramp. They want to pretend they are hiring you, take you through the motions of a hiring process, just so you can work for free with no intention of bringing you aboard after. Which BTW, how is this company even legal? It's a gambling app. What a great contribution to society.
Over the span of 3 days, after a rigorous interview, I was asked to come in and work for free, TWICE. This included lugging all my personal equipment into NYC at my own expense.
The CEO is actually an alum of my college and never had I felt ashamed to share such an experience with someone. So much for brotherhood. He treated me like I was beneath him from the second I walked in his office. Here I am, providing my skillset for free. I should have been paid my dayrate for the workload I provided, producing/shooting a livestream with their talent on facebook. I wasn't even given a lunch break for an 8+ hour day.
After all was said and done, I was told I did a great job, and would be provided feedback regardless of an offer.

Here we are, eons later, and I have never received any feedback for my work, let alone a thank you for going above and beyond what is normally expected of a candidate.
Under any other circumstance, I wouldn't have thought twice about the feedback promise. Recruiters are busy focusing on filling a role. HOWEVER, when you treat me as an unpaid intern for 2 days straight, that goes out the window. My payment is feedback and it's damn sure over 30 days late.
This company had ZERO intentions of hiring me. They just exploited the fact that I was on the other side of the table, the candidate seeking work who will do what he must to get the job.
A gigantic waste of my time and resources. Please STAY FAR AWAY from this joke of an organization.
My only satisfaction is knowing if they treat CANDIDATES in this fashion, being an employee must SUCK.
Was contacted by the recruiter via email. She wanted to determine my interest in sales by answering her question. This was followed by phone screen, then an onsite interview with the sales director and another account executive. I was very pissed off when the sales director said that I was "wasting his time" and that I did not have the experince when infact this was an entry level role. Well, he also wasted my time and money commuting all the way to the office. I will never apply to this company again in the future.
