This interview process was disorganized from the start and reflected how the company operates.
The first step was an assessment before any real conversation. These are easily gamed and provide little value, yet candidates are expected to complete them without context about the role.
That was followed by a scripted 30-minute screener with an offshore recruiter, with no real dialogue or discussion of fit. During this call, I was asked about compensation from previous roles, which is inappropriate and illegal in many states. For an agency that works with attorneys, this was especially concerning.
A second assessment was then introduced at the last minute with minimal turnaround time, followed by a rushed leadership interview that consisted largely of a 30-minute presentation on “why you want us and why we should want you,” rather than a two-way discussion about scope, expectations, or success criteria.
Despite advertising a W-2 role, the offer came through as a contractor position with vague language about potentially converting later, confirming the lack of clarity already evident throughout the process.
I continued intentionally, knowing the process was flawed, simply to see how it would play out. Nothing about the outcome was surprising.
Skip this one unless you are absolutely desperate.
