Interview
For a first round interview it was very lengthy and intense. Lots of role specific related questions but no role specific answers because these were to come from the hiring manager later in the process. So while the interviewer got a good idea of who I am I didn’t get a clear understanding of the role.

Interview
Classic Bait and Switch Offer The entire hiring process was an absolute nightmare. It went from a self-recording video interview to a regular interview, followed by a case assessment, and ultimately a final interview.
The process was incredibly fast-paced and disorganized. During the case assessment, I had to create a 30-second advertisement, help them find influencers for partnerships, identifying trends, and even drafting a sample email to a potential influencer. It felt like I was working against myself, as if my efforts were being used to exploit my skills and ideas.
To add insult to injury, the interviewer waited until the very end of our conversation to offer me an "unpaid internship." Keep in mind that the job description clearly stated a remote position with a salary of $25 per hour. It's hard to believe that 500 applicants would have applied had they known the company was seeking someone to work for free. Essentially, they made it clear that as long as I had a dog and a camera, and was willing to work for free, they would hire me.
It felt like no matter what answers I provided during the final interview, they were never enough. It seemed like they wanted five more answers for every question asked. Throughout the final interview, I constantly felt undermined, as if they were using my perceived inadequacies as a justification to offer an unpaid internship.
To make matters worse, I invested time and effort into creating a video ad using the best software available, Adobe Premiere Pro. However, they were unimpressed and insisted that I create it using my phone instead. 🤡🤡🤡 If they want free labor, they should simply advertise the position as an unpaid internship, rather than resorting to deceitful tactics.

Initial phone call interview prior to zoom call. Introductory questions and personal questions to see if personality matches company culture. I did not move past the phone call process or interview with HelloFresh
