I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bannerboy in Jan 2024
Interview
I had a first round interview with the recruiter at their parent company Precis. This interview went very well and she got a good sense of my background. I was told that they were going to pass my information along to the specific team at Bannerboy for feedback and next steps.
I got an email a day later saying flatly that they would not be proceeding. I was kind of surprised given how well the first round went, and when I asked for feedback I was told they didn’t give any, just that they did not want to proceed. I thanked them for their time and moved on.
Two weeks later, I saw the job was reposted so I followed back up with the initial recruiter and stated my continued interest. This time they did want to proceed, and asked me to prepare a 1-hour presentation for an in person interview (NOTE: companies should NOT make people do this, if you can’t figure out someone’s a good fit from the interviews alone you’re not doing your job.) I put together a presentation and was set to meet them in person…and then they cancelled the morning of and asked to reschedule. This was fine with me and we rescheduled for a week later.
Come the next week, another cancellation. When asked to reschedule I asked if we could be flexible and do it virtually because at that point I was already quite far in the interview process elsewhere and just wanted to meet them as soon as possible.
So they set a virtual call for me to give the presentation. I show up to the virtual meeting room…and they never showed up. I waited for 25 minutes. No prior notice, just a no show. 1 hour later I get an email saying they couldn’t do it because if an unspecified “emergency”. That was the final straw, I accepted an offer elsewhere.
PLEASE keep this in mind, candidates time is just as valuable as the employers and we deserve respect as well. This was a very negative experience overall.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bannerboy (Stockholm, Stockholm)
Interview
It was an application online and didnt really take much time or energy. Great experience overall and they let you know why and how you go through or not, which is very rare I think
