Hiring manager emailed to share that the first part of the application process requires candidates to complete a writing test (marketing brief) within 24 hours. A week after submitting, I was informed that I was not shortlisted for the next round. Was very disappointed about being judged solely on a marketing brief that was rushed out within a day. There was no pre- or post-interview/test. Very un-human hiring process.

I was contacted by the Managing Director. It seems like they do not have a HR team. She shared negatively of her past hires. This caused alarm bells to ring and I immediately saw the red flags. No workplace can thrive with such culture.
