TLDR: Lots of time spent and I never actually spoke to someone from the marketing department, which is wild considering their requests (detailed below).
Applied, heard back from the recruiter the same day and scheduled a call the next day.
1st - Spoke with a recruiter who let me know I was too senior for the associate role I applied for and that I'd be better for manager I agreed.
*2 weeks later received a generic rejection email*
Another 2 weeks later the recruiter followed up with me to say the manager role I'd be a good fit for was hiring and if I was interested I should submit the assignment sent at EOD Thursday, by 9am Monday. (assignment was to create a sample campaign performance report on 322 rows of client metrics & to send brief creative strategy for another campaign)
After creating and sending over a 20-slide campaign report deck on their clients metrics
*received a generic rejection email 2 days later*
I've landed at a larger tech company in-house, but as a growth marketing manager w/ over 5 years of experience, I would never ask a candidate for such in-depth work (client campaign report) without sending either feedback or setting aside even 30 minutes to speak with them & review the work I requested. This experience raises concerns about the company's interview process and aligns with other reviews I've read.
