Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with our application process wasn’t what you expected. At MailerLite, we intentionally do things a bit differently. Our hiring process isn’t about unpaid labor or finding influencers, it’s about reflecting how we work: creatively, collaboratively, and with personality. That’s why we invite candidates to sign up for our newsletter (our actual product!) and answer application questions in a newsletter format, along with a short video. This gives us a chance to see your communication style, attention to detail, and creativity in action. We understand this approach isn’t for everyone, and that’s completely okay. Just as candidates choose companies, we also look for people who are genuinely excited about what we do and how we do it. It’s a two-way street, and we want future team members to feel connected to the journey from day one. We wish you all the best in finding a role and company that better aligns with your expectations and values. The MailerLite Team
