The interview too place online over a Google teams meeting mid week without thinking of when working people could take them. Overall it was fine but it gives a different outlook on the company that it actually is.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen(UK) (London, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
It was a short first round interview, very basic call and response type interview. Was online on Zoom. The interviewer was nice and responsive to questions asked. Unfortunately didn't get the job but it is what it is.
I applied online. I interviewed at Acumen(UK) in May 2025
Interview
The initial remote interview was very nice and made me genuinely excited by the role. I had a friendly, informative conversation with the senior content writer who told me they would love to meet me in person.
On the day of the in-person interview, after which I had completed a lengthy writing task, I was emailed a couple of hours before the meeting that the role had been filled. I was on the train to the interview at the time of receiving this.
While I was disappointed initially, on reflection it speaks volumes about how much they value the time of their potential employees and so I feel relieved to not be working there.
One of the most unprofessional interview experiences I have ever had and it was a waste of my time.
