I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Accelerated Digital Media in Sept 2025
Interview
Made it to the final round after a lengthy assignment and multiple touchpoints (about a month in). Unfortunately, the process then stalled out for nearly six additional weeks with vague communication. They finally let me know I was rejected, but I was genuinely close to walking at this point due to how drawn out the wait was (especially after a detailed practical). You'll notice they have a lot of positive employee reviews and negative interview stories on here - I don't think that's purely coincidental. I felt they were trying to build an ATS pipeline without serious intent to act quickly (and not communicating that), which I believe puts too much power in the company's hands and sours the candidate experience. I'm sure they're a talented firm doing quality work, and it may well be a great place to be employed, but this experience showed company ego to the point of turning me off. I would advise them to really tighten their hiring process - don't post a listing unless you actually intend to fill it quickly (especially if you expect them to invest heavily in the process), and remember that evaluation and reputation go both ways, starting with the candidate experience.
