I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Squiz in Feb 2021
Interview
Had the usual HR introduction type interview to see if we fit each other. But they never followed up...
I was incredibly busy with other interviews from other companies at the time so I didn't have the time to chase this down, nor should I need to.
Why waste your time & mine? I could understand if they found someone else or if I didn't fit what they are looking for, but who knows what it could be because I don't.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Squiz in Sep 2025
Interview
Took several weeks to get a response to my application. During the interview I was asked some questions about my full CV with past examples. The hiring staff found not have been bothered look at my presentation or portfolio. Generally focusing on time tables and fast turnarounds almost akin to a pressure cooker with no direction or focus.
I’d say the described work environment isn’t worth any developers time, junior or senior. Plans require research and input and of the questions I asked nobody seemed to be able to give a straight and honest answer.
Some of the questions asked were answered right on my resume but they asked anyways almost as if they were using AI to screen and did not read anything provided to them.
