The interview process consisted of 4 steps. First, it was a phone call with the recruiter. Then a video chat with the CD and PM. After that, I completed an assessment. This third step was paid, but it was very inconsiderate. The assessment was sent on a Friday afternoon and they gave me until Sunday night to completed it. They did not ask if it was ok, or if it conflicted with any other commitments. I had a shoot that Saturday, so I had to cancel family plans to do it on a Sunday. These assessments take more time than they suggest. Finally, I was interviewed by the team to break down the assessment. The final interview went well and I was offered the job the next day. They wanted me to start before the standard two weeks and they wouldn't negotiate the salary, so I turned it down. Those were red flags for me.

It's incredibly unprofessional and rude to require hours of work for a creative project, only to ghost. I just read a reddit post about the company to find that many others had the exact same experience, if not worse.
