This was probably one of the worst interview processes I've ever had. ** This company is now rebranded as Upbound** I had 4 interviews with this company - (1) recruiter, (2)leadership, (3)Team, (4) Case Study & Team Interview.
First red flag - The recruiter confirmed an interview with leadership and never sent the Zoom links. So, my interview had to be rescheduled.
Second red flag - One of the managers asked me a strange question, " If a job offer was not available, would you be moving to Texas." The recruiter told me prior to meeting with this group that they'd just hired 2 employees from another state. So, I'm not sure why this was a question. People relocate for jobs all the time and it seemed super unprofessional and personal.
Third Red Flag - The 3rd interview was turned into two separate interviews which I had to rearrange my entire schedule for.
Fourth Red Flag - I was given a 15 minute overview for a case study and only given 30 minutes to complete it. I know this is not normally their process because an Instructional Designer previously posted on Glassdoor that they give you up to 48 hours to complete it. The manager who gave me the overview was all over the place and ran into the allotted time I had to complete the case. He also didn't send me the information to my email, so I had nothing to refer back to but my notes. I presented a pretty solid presentation despite not having any time to do it or any materials to work with.
Fifth red flag - They ghosted me. To be honest, after 4 interviews, and 3x having to reschedule due to their organizational skills, I was shocked to say the least. The least you could do was send an email or have the recruiter call.
