Before the official interview, They asked if I was ok with $13.50 per hour, period. I tried to explain that because I've had 1-2 years of interviewing experience already and had a BA related to the job, that I should be paid higher. Without warning they just emailed back they were no longer interested. This was strange cause on the job application it said $13-20ish dollars per hour. Just know that no matter your experience and education, they will always put you at the lowest amount and if you try to ask about it at all they'll drop your application instantly.
It was good - good communication and progressed at a good pace. I thought the people I interviewed with were relevant and I appreciated that some were grouped together with 2 people to minimize the number of total interviews.
These people have no regard for the applicant's time and effort. They interviewed me twice and assigned my a PROJECT that took 5 hours to do. All to be told no. If a company gives you ridiculously long assessments and assigns a project where they basically got you to work for free, it is a HUGE red flag. Never again.
