I interviewed at TRAFFIK Advertising (Santa Ana, CA)
Interview
Shockingly unprofessional.
The management here believe employees are not to be trusted, was the sense I got. Neither their demeanor, behavior and how they spoke about others reflect a positive environment.
In addition during the 2nd interview with two women, who didn’t even introduce themselves and their names, which I thought was highly suspect, started drilling in, and describing an entirely different role, than what they advertised.
I’d never done this before ever, in my entire career, no matter how horrible the interview was going, but had to excuse myself because one of the women was trying to do a brain drain - either that or just wasting my time.
The total arrogance, bravado and conceit of the people here are a marvel.
Let’s just say, they weren’t the type of people I’d want to spend my time around for a big chunk of my day.

Interview
It was a 45 minute interview with their senior art director. He asked all the questions you would expect for a designer role. They were looking for someone passionate about design and willing to continue and learn. I was nervous at first but it was a pretty straightforward and easy interview.

Interview
Showed up to an in-person interview to be greeted by two current developers, both of whom were friendly. We went over my experience and the company, while waiting for a manager to show up. Eventually, he finally arrived 45 minutes into the interview, asked a few questions and then dismissed us all. It was an odd experience. I followed up with an email and was ghosted in return - no response, no rejection, no thank you, nothing. Reading the reviews, it's pretty clear that I dodged a bullet.
