Stone Ward interview questions

They asked standard interview questions with moderate difficulty, but the second round of interviews required that you research one of their actual clients (Sissy's Log Cabin - a jewelry store), prepare a marketing strategy, prepare a presentation, and present it to them. They gave you a week to prepare and submit the proposal. I think to ask applicants to research an existing client and prepare work for the company's existing client borders on unethical when they aren't paying you for your expertise, as they could easily use each applicant's work and still not hire them. I politely declined to proceed with their interview process.
