After applying, I was contacted directly by the founder asking me to send over my CV. I replied immediately, but then heard nothing for almost a month before being invited to a first-round interview. The process throughout felt quite disorganised. Scheduling the first interview was difficult as most times I suggested were declined due to availability, but eventually we found a slot. At the end of that call, I was moved to the second round and given a task to complete by the end of the week. The task itself was extremely detailed and closely tied to an internal project. I spent a significant amount of time working on it and submitted it on time. After several days of silence, I was asked to make further highly specific revisions to certain sections work that honestly felt more like contributing directly to internal campaign development than a standard interview exercise. Despite this, I completed the changes the same day and sent them back. Following that, there was again more than a week of silence despite multiple follow-ups. Eventually, another team member scheduled a final interview. I was initially told this would be in person, but it became a short 30-minute call instead. From the beginning of the conversation, the interviewer repeatedly mentioned needing to “make it quick” because they had other places to be. The interview felt rushed, there was no opportunity to ask questions at the end, and I was told they would “be in touch soon” but I never heard back. Overall, the experience left me feeling that candidates’ time and effort were not properly respected, especially considering the amount of unpaid strategic work requested during the process.
