No OfferNegative ExperienceEasy InterviewAshley Furniture 2017-05-03 07:03 PDTApplication
I applied online. I interviewed at Ashley Furniture (New Braunfels, TX) in April 2017.
Interview
The interview process was exhausting. They wanted me to interview with 4 people, but none of those people were there on the same day, so they asked me to come back to the office three different times. I was required to do 2 projects to supplement interviews. All of this would have been worth it if I was offered the job. I was told that they were writing up a job offer for me, but they wanted me to speak with one more person. I interviewed with someone from upper management who didn't seem to understand graphic design or even websites. After that, I received a phone call saying that I wasn't being offered the job because I somehow wasn't qualified. It was extremely insulting to have to interview with someone from upper management who doesn't understand the position I was interviewing for. His confusion, which had nothing to do with me, magically made me unqualified.
