I applied online. I interviewed at WP Media in May 2024
Interview
Took 3 months to even get a response after applying, then was given a two week-long assignment to redo a past video they've done, and depending on the quality of that video you'd move on to a sequence of three interviews. The first interview went well, and they said they'd get back to me within two weeks. Complete silence. I reached out multiple times to check in, often giving them the benefit of the doubt, but they completely ghosted me. I even saw the same position reposted on job boards, and enough time has passed now that I saw the position is filled. Zero communication, and despite claiming mutual respect being a company value, they've shown a complete lack of respect towards applicants after requesting so much effort from them in the recruitment process.

We would like you to re-do a product update video we did in the past.
Use the script below to create a short video (less than 5 minutes) about WP Rocket 3.10 update.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at WP Media (Jersey City, NJ) in May 2024
Interview
I only had one zoom interview, but was informed it may be the first of 3, which felt like a lot for a job that was only paying ~$30k.
The conversation I had with the interviewer was perfectly pleasant, we got on well I thought. The questions were quite prescribed and interview-y ("talk about a time you settled a dispute" etc) which felt like it wasn't the best use of time. I'm not sure what they learned about me. But after the interview there was no follow up, not even to say I hadn't made it through, which I thought wasn't nice. Fair enough not responding to an application, but if I've spoken to you face to (digital) face, I think you owe me an email to say that I wasn't successful.
Also, the interview was over zoom, but Glassdoor's stupid dropdown thing doesn't allow that as an option, because no interview has ever not been in person.
