It started with a 30 minute phone screen with a recruiter and then a 1 hour in person interview. Mostly technical questions and how my experience related to the job. No actual technical displays/case studies.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GPRS (Maumee, OH) in Mar 2026
Interview
I was contacted by Jacob who seemed nice. Told me I was on a short list of candidates that they had contacted for the position. A few days later I met with the director of marketing who asked me general questions related to my experience, feelings on webflow vs. wordpress, salary requirements, etc. I was then told I was one of the final 2 applicants and they would be giving me a test. That test was to take figma design and translate it into webflow landing page. Most coding challenges are an hour or two, tops. With everything they requested, the landing page took me upwards of 18 hours. I lost most of my weekend building it. It was pixel perfect, accessible, and exactly what they wanted. After that I met with the entire marketing team who said about 4 words about it, then focused on other things entirely. Two weeks later I send a friendly email asking if they had made a decision. I received no answer. Then a week later I followed up and got a very short "we'll know tomorrow,"
The next day I received an email saying the status of my application had changed. The link was broken in the email so I had to go to their job board just to find that it said position filled. No communication from anyone on the team. Just a cold status update.
You can learn a lot about a company by the way it treats people. If this is how they treat people who put over 20 hours into coding and interviews for them, I'd hate to see how they treat their employees. It was never a dream position. They are using a terrible platform. But I feel like I dodged a bullet.
Had three separate interviews.
1. Initial call with Talent Acquisition to discuss salary, responsibilities, and potential fit.
2. Interview with Director of Marketing to go deeper into daily responsibilities, company culture, etc.
3. Interview with Directory of Marketing, Lead Graphic Designer, and Lead Web Developer regarding more technical questions and the interview assignment.
They filled the position but did not let me know they would not be moving forward with me as a candidate. Felt pretty unprofessional after several interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They discussed an interactive tool they were planning on building out to send to potential clients. They asked how I would tackle that task from the beginning to end.
