Ellen Digital Ventures interview questions

I came in for a 3:1 sit-down with senior management of the digital department. The following are just my observations and impressions after the whole process. The offices are located on the WB lot which is very cool. I was given a visitors pass for the lot and parked across the street and walked to the office. I applied for the role online because i have previous experience as an editor working on some features and broadcast content. I did some preparation before the interview and familiarized myself with their content. The people i met with were friendly, and down-to-earth. The head of the department seemed nice. Quite an informal discussion revolving around my work and what I can do and my experiences. I was pretty turned off about the role after a few responses i got from them when it was my turn to ask questions. In specifically, I asked them what they were paying for the role, in response i got hesitation and "why do you have an expectation?", (i should absolutely have an idea of what the pay is, i have a mortgage, i have bills, i need to know if its right for me), and also why were you interested in me for this position, response "well we couldn't afford an actual trailer editor". Both these responses were very diminishing, and it indicates to me they're just trying to fill the role with someone with someone with little-to-no experience at low pay. If thats what they are looking for; fine. But they should not advertise this job as a trailer editor at all. It is in conflict with an actual industry where people work on trailers for movies, games, TV. There is probably little chance a trailer house for features will ever hire someone who has worked here as a "trailer editor". I would suggest "content editor" or just freelance editor, promo editor, or if it is mostly social media content, social media video editor. I was ok with not receiving an offer as I felt quite bad about the fit after the interview. I would not see myself working here.

They were super kind and friendly. I felt comfortable & the office is super nice. It seems as if it is difficult to get hired there tho. They said they never give the job to anyone right away.
