Round 1: HR Screening – Discussion of my background, relevant experience, career goals, and overall fit for the role and company.
Round 2: Hiring Manager Interview – Review of my experience, key accomplishments, problem-solving approach, and alignment with the role's responsibilities.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Humann (Austin, TX) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview process dragged on for weeks. Then, after they wasted my five references' time with ridiculous questions, like :"What's the best thing and worst thing about working with Tom?" they asked for even more work samples AND references. Sorry, no. Quite wasting people's time because you're afraid of the boss' boss. Or worse, using creatives' interview clips as inspiration for your own work.
In a nutshell: There's a reason there are so many "RUN, DON'T WALK" reviews of Humann. Run.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Humann (Austin, TX) in Dec 2024
Interview
Had my initial phone screen and felt great. We set up the next round of interviews with the hiring manager, and he never showed up. I reached out to them multiple times and never heard back.
