The initial stages of the interview process were good. The team was warm, responsive, and the conversations felt thoughtful. Things shifted during the case study stage. I was asked to present my work to the entire marketing team, which immediately made the session feel less like an assessment and more like a collaborative brainstorming session for them. I completed the case study and walked through my reasoning, but shortly after presenting, I was rejected with no meaningful feedback. The timing and setup made the experience feel more like idea-gathering than a fair evaluation. It didn’t leave a great impression.
