It feels unprofessional when the owner contacts you directly instead of HR, as it bypasses established communication channels, creates confusion about roles, and undermines confidence in proper workplace procedures that should be managed through human resources.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gesture (New York, NY) in Nov 2024
Interview
Did an initial screening interview then did an coding assessment for a manual qa role (Why was that necessary?). Was ghosted after submitting assessment. Not sure what else to say.
15 min Phone Interview, then a 30 min virtual interview with Hiring Manager, then potentially informal in person interview for cultural fit. Was able to ask a lot of informative questions in 2nd interview. They were hiring for an intern but felt like they need more senior people.
