Interview
I was scheduled for an initial video interview with the recruiter. I waited and waited, but no one showed up at the appointed time. Not a good sign. So I emailed them and was told they were having technical difficulties. Okay that happens, but the next interview slot they could get me scheduled for was over two weeks later. Remember, this was their error. Also not a good sign. Anyway, someone did actually show up for this meeting, and I was recommended to the hiring manager. That interview went well, and I was asked to do a skills assessment. For some designers these are a red flags, but I don’t mind them. This one was a pretty lengthy assignment with rather vague instructions, but I completed it by the deadline and returned it to them and then… nothing. Ghosted. Okay, obviously I didn’t deliver what they were looking for, but they could at least have had the common courtesy to tell me that. Send me a form letter. Anything.
Completely unprofessional.

Interview
The interview process started with promise but ended in a way that left a sour taste. Let me paint the picture: I went through multiple rounds, invested time, energy, and creativity. The team spoke highly of collaboration and respect, and for a while, it seemed like they lived up to those values.
But then came the silence. Deadlines for updates passed without a word. When they finally decided to communicate, it wasn’t through the respectful, direct engagement they preached during the interviews. No, it was a generic rejection email, a cold, impersonal message that left me wondering why I even bothered to pour so much effort into this process.
Hiring is a two-way street. Candidates deserve the same level of professionalism that companies demand of them. To wrap up weeks of engagement with a canned response is not just disappointing…it’s disrespectful. Gummicube needs to seriously reconsider how they treat the people who want to join their team because this? This isn’t how you build trust or goodwill.
