Quill Content interview questions

Completed a writing test for a project I thought I’d be a shoo-in for, given my previous work experience. I was given really low scores in the feedback breakdown, particularly for grammar & syntax, and was told that ‘my test didn’t meet the required standards for the project. To say I was shocked and disturbed is an understatement. I’ve been a professional writer for years now and have always been told that my writing skills are very strong. But I got a ‘C’ for grammar and syntax which made absolutely no sense given that I proofread my pieces over and over again and run them through proofreading software to ensure they are error-free. I don’t know what standard they are looking for here but it seems to be an impossible one. Considering the pay for the project wasn’t very high either, I would have had to work doubly hard to meet those standards for absolute peanuts. If you’re a freelancer worth your salt then steer clear from this place. It definitely smells like a content mill.

Two copy tests and three interviews. After completing both fairly lengthy tests and the first interview, I was then invited to a "first round" interview which lasted 90 minutes. It was an absolute grilling and did not leave me feeling positive about the company culture, which strikes me as highly overworked and underpaid.
