I had one phone interview at that time with their Content Editing Lead, it was so fun and the interview was going so well. I had a great impression during the interview and the interview had a deep dive related to my interest and explain the job desk very clear.
But then that's it. I was failed during the Editing Test, didn't know that their grammar standard will be by British English and I'm only familiar with American English and everything going so bad and I'm kinda regret about it. Anyway most of the job description will be done by local language but I appreciate they try to make standardize test with those kind of test to find the suitable candidate for the position.

I was contacted by the recruiter and asked to submit links to my portfolio. I was told it could take up to 3 days to hear back from her and that I shouldn't hesitate to contact her with any questions.
I never heard back from her even though I sent several emails for feedback. This seems to be a trend this days unfortunately. It makes the company looks very bad though

The first step was a task - answering three questions about how i see the platform and what improvements could be made to it to make the user experience better.
The next step was a screening call from a recruiter, which lasted around 30 minutes and included general questions about myself and how I deal with different situations, but mostly around collaboration with colleagues and teamwork.
The last step was a face to face interview at the local office I was going to be based at with my direct manager joining via video call as she was based in a different country.

Best question I got asked was at the end of the interview - how did you think you did? Do you think you ruined some answers?

Slow and awful recruitment process they called me for the first interview after one month. The offices in Milan are surrounded by homeless, there is a glass wall in the waiting room and the homeless where literally washing themselves right in front of me, they had mattresses, cooking pans like they were actually living there. Put curtains if you can't get rid of them! this was such an unprofessional first impression. I met 3-4 people who didn't even bother introducing themselves and lead me to participate to an editing test which took me 1hour. I haven't hear back from them ever since and it has now been over a month. I have sent them an email and nobody ever bothered to reply.
I will never send my CV to this company again and will not recommend it to any professional.
