I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Publicis Groupe (Bucharest, Bucuresti)
Interview
I applied online for the position and then I got 2 tests (one had questions that evaluated your work style and personality traits, the other was with logical questions). Later, I had a discussion with somebody from HR and then a possible manager who walked me through the type of projects I might get to work on. Then… radio silence for a month and a bit. I tried reaching out to the recruiter, but, sadly, I did get the message. It’s bad when you get all hyped up by them only to be ghosted, not to mention that myself and other people from the industry have noticed that they’d rather take in their team people that are recent graduates instead of experienced creatives.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Publicis Groupe
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn, shared my resume and then did a phone interview. Now waiting to hear back.

I had two rounds of online interviews followed by a written task. The description of the task was detailed. The discussions were friendly and open-minded. But the salary offered was not meeting my expectations.
I got an email saying they'd like me to schedule an interview (phone call). I scheduled it, and then the day of the interview, with less than 1 hour before my scheduled interview, I was asked to reschedule. The day before my rescheduled interview, I was asked to reschedule AGAIN; the very next day, I received the same prompt. It was very disheartening to see and I wish I was able to speak to someone rather than keep being fed the same reschedule prompt. I don't know if the role has been filled, if there are actual conflicts, or if they are just no longer interested in me as a candidate but I truly feel disrespected and swept to the side. Asking someone to reschedule three times just shows a lack of organization and respect for those in the market looking for new opportunities.
