Interview
The interviewer talked a lot and ran overtime. It also sounded more like minimum wage data entry than quality content creation. Online and in the interview, there seem to be no clear company values.

Interview
The interview went great and I really got to know the interviewer and the workplace's culture. Although the interview was kind of sneaky at times. Ex. Are you okay with a salary of Eighty Seventy-Nine? (Turns out this means $1879 CAD a month and not $18.79 an hour; don't get tricked)The interview itself was great but not after it. Took them long to follow-up, and they don't even have an official contract for interns.

Question 1
Are you okay with a salary of Eighty Seventy-Nine?
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Buytopia.ca in Mar 2016
Interview
This position was an internship being offered through my school, so the hiring process was a little bit different. There was only one interview and it was a 30-minute standard phone call where the interviewer mostly asked me to talk more about certain experiences mentioned on my resume.
I rescinded my offer because after accepting, I discovered that I would be paid significantly less than what I was led to believe (i.e., the interviewer said "the pay is eighteen seventy" when the actual salary was $1,870 per month). I believe that the pay was intentionally misrepresented to me because the original job description included a comment that specified that pay should be asked during the interview. This coupled with the negative/mediocre Glassdoor reviews as well as all the negative customer reviews makes me believe that my interview experience with them would have been just as lacklustre as my employment experience, and that I dodged a bullet.
