The initial interview process seemed straightforward. HR reached out quickly the day after I applied, as they needed someone for a short-term contract. I then interviewed with a producer and department head, which went well enough, and I had relevant experience to start immediately.
Despite being told I would hear back quickly due to the fast timeline, I never received a response. Follow-ups went unanswered. This level of communication, or lack thereof is highly unprofessional and frustrating.
If this is indicative of how the studio handles communication internally, it’s a serious red flag. While the interviews themselves were fine, the ghosting and disregard for candidates’ time left a very negative impression.
Pros: Fast initial contact, interview process itself was smooth
Cons: No follow-through, poor communication, unprofessional candidate experience. The initial strong impression was completely undermined by being ghosted, turning what started out promising into a negative experience. Brutal.
