Terrible experience - this review is for the San Diego branch. One of their recruiters called me about a few positions they have available - subsequently this recruiter also INVITED me to apply for their open recruiter position which I did. I received a phone call later that week from one of their managers and we talked about my qualifications and the position. He invited me to an in-person interview with him and another manager to which I went. We all spoke to each other and the interview went great. They invited me back the following week to meet and speak with the team for about an hour and a half - I met and spoke to about 10 recruiters and their teams at this point and I thought it went really well. I debriefed with three managers afterwards and they asked me which teams I liked the most, they also asked if I was applying for any other positions outside of Maxim to which I told them I've stopped looking for other jobs and made up my mind and would like to join their team at this point - they all seemed eager at this point. They then invited me again for ANOTHER interview the following week with Melanie Hanley - their fat cow operations manager - someone who was never involved at any point in this process. I interviewed with her and apparently she thought I wasn't good enough despite what the rest of her recruiters' impressions of me. They called me the next day and said they decided to move on instead. To sum up - they invited me to apply - invited me to interview - invited me to meet their team - asked which teams I liked and if I was hunting for any other jobs -invited me for another interview - only to reject me at the end. It was a cruel and emotionally taxing experience. I wish they didn't contact me in the first place.
