I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Botanic Tonics in Nov 2023
Interview
I had 3 interviews over 3 months (there were two holidays in between all 3 interviews). Interview 1 was getting to know my experience and the job description. There was an assignment after interview 1. Interview 2 was to go over assignment. Interview 3 was meeting with senior graphic designer. Communication was lacking at times and it took a couple emails back and forth to get responses.

Interview
This turned out to be a scam. I was emailed and told to reply quickly to secure my interview. Once I responded I was told to download an app called Wire to finalize an interview date. From there I was put in touch with another hiring manager and was asked to immediately interview with her via text. It all seemed very weird so I googled wire app interview scam and there were several people who were scammed using this method. They use real companies and real employee names.

They asked me if I was able to get a new smartphone and set up a second line with my phone carrier to use for business purposes and would be reimbursed for all costs.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Botanic Tonics (Santa Monica, CA) in Oct 2023
Interview
The day before I receive an email that they looked at my background and wanted to interview me. The first red flag was being asked to download an app where a text interview would go on. They asked a few questions relating to graphic design and that’s it. Once that was over they said I would hear back in 48 hours. The next day which is the day I am writing this review I get a job offer. That is way too fast and sketchy. I have declined.
