I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Atypical Digital (New York, NY) in May 2021
Interview
A logical multi-step process that included some personality testing to ensure a fit between myself and the organization. Ranged from an initial interview with a recruiter up to my immediate supervisor.

Question 1
What was my impact on the top-line growth of one of my prior engagements and how did I achieve it.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Atypical Digital (New York, NY)
Interview
I may have dodged a bullet when they ghosted me for the second interview.
When their recruiter contacted me about interviewing for a role at Atypical Digital, I was a little skeptical because I had never heard of the company before.
Nevertheless, the screening interview was a little weird because the recruiter opened it up by asking me what question I had.
I found it a little odd that they didn’t have answers to about half my questions but the role was part of a brand new team of three and they were interviewing me for one of the two roles they hadn’t hired yet. Some of the recruiter’s answers were basically, *we’ll figure out your exact job description once we hire the other role*.
Here’s why I think I may have dodged a bullet.
1) Their VP of HR ghosted me for my interview and made no attempt to cancel or reschedule. He made no attempt to apologize when he replied to my email asking if he needed to reschedule my second interview.
2) They were delisted from the NASDAQ stock exchange.
“On or about November 28, 2016, 6D Global Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (“NASDAQ”), of NASDAQ’s intention to delist the shares of the Company’s common stock listed on the NASDAQ exchange.”
3) This is how their founder/CEO/chairman talked about former employees in a news release. (I removed the names from the quote.)
“I am very pleased with this initial ruling,” said Tejune Kang, Chairman and CEO for 6D Global Technologies. “When you have former employees such as PERSON1, PERSON2, PERSON3, and others completely disregard contracts they have signed, they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. These employees can never be trusted nor would I ever recommend them to any employer because of the unscrupulous actions and complete lack of integrity.”
You can find the quotes in #1 (12/19/2016 filing date) and #2 (6/15/2018 filing date) in the Securities and Exchange Commission filings under Atypical Digital’s corporate name, 6D Global Technologies, Inc.

Question 1
The screening interview asked how many years experience I had in about 10 different areas.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Atypical Digital (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2019
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for Atypical very shortly after posting my resume. The recruiter advised me to provide some written information about my specific experience with the type of project they were hiring for. That was fine, but kind of a waste of time considering that even though i provided it I was then asked the same questions that elicited that same answers during the initial phone screen.
