The interview process was long. Multiple stages beggining with there was a phone screening, then a meeting with two managers, an editing test, and then finally with the head of the department. I was told that would be the last interview. However, I received an invite for an in-person “coffee chat” as they called it. I was feeling positive based off of the feedback I had received throughout the process and the fact that it was framed that they wanted me to meet the team. I paid a bunch for train tickets to meet them at their office. Did not get the job. It was emotionally exhausting to be set up and for them to simply apologize for my “confusion” about the interview process. I suggest companies be more transparent about their processes to avoid any misunderstandings.
