The beginning process was pretty straightforward, submit your application on the website and wait to hear. After a initial interview with a member of HR I was told I’d be moved to the next round. In that round I had a engaging conversation with the direct manager for the position. After that I had a interview with Leanne, which was a little difficult. The meeting had been changed multiple times and it was never clear what time zone the time was set in. During the interview Leanne seem uninterested and as if I was an inconvenience. As a queer person I was incredibly disheartened to see how those with aspiring tech careers were treated by someone who boosts entirely about making tech queerer. After the interview I had a assignment that involved everything from making graphics to writing copy. Straight forward tasks for the job but incredibly time consuming.
Things became complicated when trying to have clear communication as to what their decision was. I had to follow up multiple times with multiple staff members, only to get a reply weeks later with a lackluster no. When I requested feedback I was ignored and given none. I requested feedback specifically on my skills and work, something I wanted to help me in future application processes.
