The people are nice, but the hiring process is lengthy and time-consuming. If you get the job at the end, awesome, but if you don't, you'll have wasted hours and hours of time over the course of a month or more. There were three interviews (a pre-recorded screener and two group interviews with two interviewers at each) and an assessment. For the screener, you recorded responses to 7 questions (you had unlimited time to think and unlimited re-records). For the assessment, they said it would only take about 75 minutes, but considering you needed to create a one-page digital comms plan for a hypothetical scenario and design multiple graphics, I doubt that only taking 75 minutes would have been sufficient for quality work. They also required that you list 4 references (3 is enough for almost every other job) and they sent out links for the references to fill in their responses to questions about you. In my view, references should be a final step for the chosen candidate before an offer rather than something to require for multiple candidates. Again, you're really wasting peoples' time unnecessarily.
I didn't have a negative experience overall, but I also don't think that I would apply for a position at Stand for Children again. I think that requiring unpaid work from candidates in the current job market is exploitative, and employers really need to figure out how to condense the interview process.
