I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Proactiv (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn. I agreed to an interview. I had a great interview with her.
Next up was the hiring manager interview. I was ghosted by the company afterward, including the recruiter who had been messaging me on LinkedIn up until that point.
Unprofessional, uncomfortable interviewing experience with a cold hiring manager who clearly didn't want to 'connect' with me when I joined the call because I didn't match her 'aesthetic'. It was obvious from the moment I got on the video call with the hiring manager that this place is looking to hire a specific aesthetic of woman on their marketing team.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Proactiv (London, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
Met with hiring manager, questions were relevant and clear, they put me at ease. Interview lasted for 45 minutes. They gave me time to ask questions to them, which they answered fairly and with apparent honesty
