Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Red Ventures in Aug 2021
Interview
I went through 6 interviews and 1 take home assessment for an entry-level editor position. The process took 6 weeks from start to finish. I was openly lied to by my recruiter. I specified my salary requirements during the initial phone call, and when I was moved forward, I specifically told the recruiter I would not like to be considered if they can't meet my salary range. I was assured they would and eventually was offered the job. They offered me 20% less and wouldn't budge when I tried to negotiate. I was told there are raises every 6 months during reviews, which was also another lie. Took the job but left after 6 months. Avoid at all costs: Money hungry cult-like company that tries to act like tech.
Let's just say that my that my interview experience echoes what others have experienced. But an employee reached out to me encouraging me to apply. It seems the company wants to start experienced editors out at the bottom (even if they've previously worked for the company). I'm very disappointed about my time being wasted. I would not apply to the company again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview with the hiring manager felt disorganized. I decline to answer.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Red Ventures
Interview
First interview was a 30-minute conversation with a recruiter. Second interview was 45 minutes with the hiring manager. Then, a full interview day that consisted of five separate 45-minute interviews. All the interviews went well, but seven interviews seemed a bit much for the job, especially since I had to take a full day off of work for the interview day.
After applying to numerous jobs with Red Ventures and dealing with different recruiters, this last experience was the last straw
I applied through Linkedin and was contacted by a recruiter a few days later. She told me to apply again through the website (which I found odd) then said she would get back to me soon. After asking for my portfolio (which I don't have since I edit other people's work), I was sent a rejection email the next day.
Why did this recruiter reach out to me just to reject me? I met all the requirements, had more than enough experience, but recruiters don't actually want to do their job.
I was also rejected after another interview last year despite them only asking for ONE year of experience. These people don't seem to want to fill jobs with experienced workers. But I'm done applying with this company
