I applied online. I interviewed at Allied Maker (Glen Cove, NY) in Sept 2022
Interview
The interview itself was very easy. The two owners asked basic questions about my job experience. I received a message the next day asking me to come in for 3 days for a trial run. I explained that I had a job and we negotiated it down to 2 days. I took off work and let the company know what days I would be coming in. I was ghosted for an entire week. I eventually called the office and received a cold response. I was left hanging for another day before finding out the position was filled. This company messed with my time and my money which is inconsiderate, unprofessional, and unacceptable. I am highly disappointed with my experience.

What have you been up to? Why are you interested in this position?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Allied Maker (Glen Cove, NY) in Jan 2020
Interview
A posting for this position was on their website. I emailed them and got a response the same day. We set up an interview for the next week. While it is a showroom position (which is located in TriBeCa, it was required that I go out to Long Island to their studio space for the interview. When I arrived I was greeted and toured around the space where all the lighting was made which is incredibly insightful regarding how their lights are made.
When we got their office, the official interview began which lasted maybe 20 minutes. They never asked any challenging questions nor did they seem interested once sitting down at the table to hash things out and discuss qualifications.
The crux of it all is their disinterestedness became apparent to me when there was a long pause and one of the principals stated "well, you definitely have the qualifications," as if to seem interested in me or my ability to work in their showroom, when they clearly where not. I was expecting it to be more formal considering the notoriety they've received in recent years. They also requested that I do a day of work in their showroom to prove I was worthy of the position to which I said that I would be happy to.
The feeling I got from the whole thing was it looked like they had a solid product but were simply a bunch of kids that so happened to run a 10 million dollar company. Nice people, was not particularly impressed with the interview process.

Interview
They brought me into their office on Long Island for an in person interview without doing a phone or skype interview first which was cool. I also participated in a trial period for a week with them which is very unusual
