Colloquio
I interviewed at the Fort Mill office. It seemed very impressive at first, but as my interview went on, I got the nagging feeling I was looking at a very shiny, glamorous sweatshop. The exercise areas, the kitchen, the bowling alley, the beer garden were all nice, but in my experience, companies give you these amenities to keep you from leaving the building... as in, you're expected to be at the office around the clock.
Not only that, my interviewer started by handing me a fake brief and asking me to write a marketing email on the spot. I've never been asked to do an assignment in an interview before. It felt a bit insulting, considering I had plenty of work in my portfolio showing my writing skills. The interviewer then went through the email and critiqued it. I was stunned and maintained that it's not a good representation of my writing skills, as I was given 10 minutes to write it up. It gave me a pretty good idea of the work I'd be looking at—incredibly tight deadlines and constant churn.
It was a pretty bizarre interview process overall, and I left with a bad taste in my mouth. And I think they could tell I wasn't impressed.
