It starts with a recruiter e-mailing you to set up a pre-screening phone interview with another recruiter. Whether or not they make that interview is up to debate, but the recruiter in charge of my interview missed our appointment not only once, but twice.
After that, you get an art test. Mine was a week long test. After you turn that in, you get an interview with the art team, and guess what: They ask you to take another week on your UNPAID art test to address their notes.
After that, if they like your test results, they'll fly you out to Atlanta for an interview. The one highlight of my interview process was the person helping me set up my flight and travel info. Super friendly, super communicative, very helpful. You're great Pam. Anyways, they bring you in, sit you in a room, and bring in different groups of people to "interview" for five hours. I say interview in quotes because during some of the 30-minute interviews we just sat there trying to figure out what to talk about. Some of them were clearly completely unprepared. The people seemed fine for the most part though, they were very friendly if a little out of touch with the current gaming culture.
So, that's done. You go home. And this is where they completely ghost you. The recruiters will NOT keep in contact with you, so don't expect them to. You're going to have to be the one to contact them, and even then, you may not get a response. It took almost a whole month after the on-site interview for them to get back to me with a response. The time estimate given at the interview was 1-2 weeks. During that time, I sent one follow-up e-mail which got a brief, generated response which told me it would be a "few days."
So, two months later after your initial application and trying to build a rapport with recruiters like you were trying to have a conversation with a brick wall, and what do you get? A generic form rejection letter. No personalized e-mail telling you why you were passed up, no e-mail from any recruiter, just a generic form e-mail as if you were rejected by a computer right when you input your application.
If you're not interested in beating your head against a wall in frustration at their total lack of concern for your time and effort, apply somewhere else.
