I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at WeyMedia in Nov 2023
Interview
The interview process was long—I applied in late October and was hired in mid-December—but it was thorough. It included an initial interview with the HR manager, a couple of personality and strength tests, work samples (which took maybe 60-90 mins), a second interview with the other managing editor and director, and a final interview with the founders. Despite the long process, at no point did I ever feel that my time was being wasted
I enjoyed the opportunity to meet potential colleagues at different levels and it gave me a good idea of the type of company culture I'd be joining. It's a company where people stick around—there isn't high turnover, and I have to think that the thorough interview process is one major reason for that.

Question 1
Take me through your previous positions, why are you looking for a new opportunity, SWOT analysis of myself, plus some role-specific questions.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WeyMedia (Dieppe, NB)
Interview
The process is disrespectful to potential employees because the process itself takes over a month and a massive amount of take-home assignments, personality tests, math tests, excel spreadsheet tests, etc. All of your time is wasted in the end if they don't like you. The HR person is fine, as is the other manager. But the husband-wife CEO are completely checked out during the interview, are unfriendly and cold, have a super inflated opinion of their achievements, and seem to be difficult tpeople to work with. Reading some of the reviews of this company, I guess it's good that I am not working there now, especially considering the poor compensation and benefits.
Don't waste your time here.

Question 1
What is the Square Root of 64 and a question about how many credit card points you'll earn. Basic math, they will give you time and you can use pen and paper.
Seems like a decent place to work but they don’t exactly come across like they know what they’re looking for. They delete-repost-promote the same 4-5 jobs nearly every week to bring in new pools of applicants constantly. After over a month of questionnaires, tests, video interviews, etc. they informed me that they went with another candidate…only to repost the job.
I must’ve spent close to 10 hours on this whole process. Obviously at that point I became invested in the company, thought things were going well, and wanted to learn.
All in all, be prepared to spend a long time researching their site (for tone & formatting), putting together work samples, and completing multiple assessments…for free. For a generic rejection email.
