I applied online. I interviewed at Citruslabs in Nov 2023
Interview
I was asked to prepare a case study as part of the job interview process, which I did. I was then interviewed by one of the founders and the hiring manager on 2 separate calls. I was later told they changed their mind about filling this position, which was a complete waste of my time (especially given that I had to do a case study presentation).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Previous experience, how I would handle their company's marketing needs. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citruslabs (Boston, MA) in Nov 2023
Interview
The interviewers asked for 2/3 rounds of interviews with a final project marketing proposal. The team did not pay or consider a project outside of the scope of the company's purview. The company benefited directly from the comprehensive proposal submitted for the final interview. The team was extremely slow to provide feedback and decided not to hire for the position. It was very inconsiderate and typical of an early-stage startup with resource constraints.

Question 1
Why Citruslabs? Explain your background and interest here
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Citruslabs
Interview
I applied for the position after finding it online and received a response within a few hours inviting me to fill out a form and answer some next questions in preparation for the next round (a video call).
After investing hours of time into my responses, I didn't hear back. I followed up and still never heard back after several weeks.
It looks like they are no longer are hiring for the role and are hiring for a Marketing Manager instead now. Some form of response would have been nice.
Typical unprofessional startup approach to hiring.
