There was an intense interview process with a variety of content leaders, and a very long hiring process over the course of many months before I was in the position.

After submitting my application, I was asked to design and create a *15 page* portfolio. This was months ago, and I haven’t heard a peep from them since. This was a labor and time-intensive task. If HR doesn’t have the capacity or decency to tell applicants *anything* after they submit it, then it shouldn’t be used as an initial screening exercise. It should be a second or third round task for those in serious contention.
