I had one interview with the hiring manager. We talked about my experience and she asked for a writing sample- any type of writing sample. Shortly after the interview I received an offer for my preferred team.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Factory PR (New York, NY) in Dec 2023
Interview
The interview process consisted of four rounds, initially guided by HR/Recruiting. Each interview went well; however, the final round with the CMO felt rushed as she was unwell. This limited my opportunity to fully elaborate on certain topics. Following this, I did not receive any communication from the company for six weeks, at which point I was informed of their decision to proceed with another candidate. Overall, it was not a negative experience, but I was disappointed by the lack of opportunity to fully showcase my capabilities.
