Interview
I was already hesitant to go through with this interview after reading the reviews on here.
It should have been you know, a regular interview. First-round interview was in person. I was 20 minutes early. Interviewer showed up late. Not as in he was working on something upstairs. As in he showed up TO WORK past 9:30 am (when the interview was supposed to start) and just set his bag down next to him in the room. He did not seem prepared AT ALL. Didn’t have a hard copy of my resume on him (and said as much). Didn’t seem to understand what my experience meant. Basically said the proofreader job was busywork.
Said a bunch of red flags: “we’re like a family ... sometimes families are a little dysfunctional,” “because we’re so small, we wear a lot of hats around,” “there was a lot of turnover last year ... because of toxicity and drama”. Interviewer hasn’t even been working there a full year.
Asked me at the end if I was still interested. I’m a terrible liar so I literally said “uhhhhhhh maybe?” And he said they’d prefer “someone chomping at the bit” 0/10 do not recommend. Also you’re out of luck if you have mobility issues bc the guest parking space is -directly- in front of the ramp walkway and the historic inside has uneven stone brick flooring in parts and also outside in the entryway.

Interview
The hiring process was pretty basic-send in resume, wait for reply, phone interview to start. I felt very disrespected by the man interviewing me. My, "Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to talk to me." was met with, "Mhmm, bye." I felt all around very disrespected and put down throughout the entire interview.

Interview
The interview process was quick and efficient. Questions were more about my working style and desired environment. However, after making it to the final round with the CEO I did not receive an email with an update about the position. I believe the candidate should always get an email or phone call regardless if they got the job or not. It's just common curiosity and closure.
