I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Keeping Current Matters (Richmond, VA)
Interview
3 step interview process (with one surprise additional interview), including an unpaid homework assignment over the course of 2+ months. Recruiter screening and chat with the hiring managers were great. Homework assignment was unfortunately unclear and changed on me during the interview process, along with the role changing from full-time to a contract position, which I was still interested in. Was also surprised with an additional final interview by a member of the marketing team. This person asked a lot of questions you are legally not allowed to ask candidates which left a bad taste in my mouth. A week after the final interview, I received an email that they were no longer hiring for the position altogether and that "they decided to move in another direction." I had an amazing experience up until the final interviewer, but it sounds like the company still isn't sure what it wants for its marketing team so I probably dodged a bullet.

Interview
Went through 3 interviews and a multi-hour long project assignment, only to be told no with zero feedback. Normally I wouldn’t care about the no feedback, but after how long this hiring process and intense the homework assignment was, this left a bad taste in my mouth. After receiving the no via email, I followed up to ask for any insight or feedback and was ghosted. Doesn’t quite align with their “best place to work for” image. I also get the feeling the never ended up hiring anymore for this role based on the other review here and the lack of a new hire listed on LinkedIn. Big yikes. Stay clear, especially when applying for this specific role!
