It was a long process; with a whole afternoon of interviews, with employees from different areas, with many situational questions. In the end I got the answer if I passed or not.

It was a very long and layered interview process. I made it to the last step but got eliminated after 5-6 different steps. I got opportunity to meet with possinle teammates and it was nice to have a that kind of opportunity. To be honest, it was a bit exhausting journey to be in. You are always waiting for a reply from the recuiter. I really felt like they are trying to know me better, but at the and I guess they misunderstand me. :)

Interview
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE: This company uses Cognitive Assessment tests (IQ tests, essentially) to do an initial filtration of potential candidates. So be aware of that. Insanely unfair in 2024. Firstly, the interview process wasn't as described in the careers' website of said employer. It started off with a simple interview, of 30 minutes, where questions about my professional timeline were made. It was relatively simple and not intimidating at all. After said interview, I got notified that I had advanced, which was fun, until I saw a whole PDF file with TWO (yes, you heard it correctly) two creative tasks, one of them containing 3 sub-tasks besides a key-visual. After putting together a PDF presentation, I then had another interview, in this case with someone from the Design department, where I had the opportunity to present my intentions. Everything was going smoothly, although quite tough on the amount of work given to me without no compensation. I then had advanced to a THIRD one-hour interview with a bunch of on the spot questions, mini case studies, and still, everything felt pretty normal. After a few days, I got an email update on my application that, in 4 very generic lines, told me I wasn't fit, and they had chosen another person for the role. Just like that. No personal feedback about my work or any of my interviews, just a cold email of 4 lines. All this to say: if you're going to put anyone through these many meetings, interviews and tasks, at least be a tad bit more careful and thoughtful in the way you then tell them they weren't a fit, as the way they did this time around doesn't resonate at all with the values the company seems to preach.

If you were a teacher, what would be the name of your class and name 3 lessons you would lecture about in said class. Gave me about 2 minutes to come up with an answer.
