I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Edge (UK) (London, England) in Nov 2020
Interview
I applied online and sent an email from the CEO. The CEO then messaged me on WhatsApp telling me how he's partying and stuff. I tried to be polite and ask when can we sort out an interview. He sent me an invite to his personal calendar.
I chose a date and sent him a message to confirm. He read my message but never got back to me.
On the day of the interview he cancelled our interview. I messaged him again on WhatsApp and he just read my message and not get back to me.
I also don't know what this company is trying to be. One minute they're in eSports, next influencer marketing and now they're in NFTs. They just jump on bandwagons it seems.
Applied to the job, scheduled a slot, choosing from the founder's available slots in their calendar. On the day of the interview, I never received a call. I chased-up, only to greeted by an automated email from the founder, saying that they're in Japan. I later received a manual email response from the founder. We then communicated via WhatsApp in an attempt to get an interview done, but the founder proved to be a slippery one to pin down to get an interview done, as he always had an excuse as to why the interview couldn't be done. In my last WhatsApp message to the founder, I asked them how they'd like to proceed and they just read and ignored my message.
Highly unprofessional, disorganised and doesn't respect the applicant's time.
As someone who is passionate about the video gaming industry, you always hear horror stories about working in the industry. If Edge and their founder can't get simple decencies right, it doesn't fill me with confidence that working here would go down the right path.
