I was referred by a friend who works at MindShare. After she turned in my resume, I got a call very quickly about coming into the office to interview. I was a bit surprised because I do not have a media background but was excited because I had heard such positive things about the company and the culture. The office is definitely open and casual with a young environment. I went into the office 2 weeks later to meet with some members of the team I was applying for. A few things: after scheduling my interview, I got an email with a link to apply online. It was a link to their generic open job postings. Therefore, I didn't know which team I was applying for until I got there. Secondly, for a "final" interview, I met with less people than I was expecting. Someone else I know that works there also told me people usually interview with more people than I spoke to. I'm not really sure if this was because the role needed to be filled immediately or some other reason. I received an offer less than a week later but was given limited time to accept or decline it. I declined simply because I wasn't ready to accept the offer so quickly without giving consideration to other factors and other offers on the table.

The HR was unprofessional. I had two interviews and she never got back to me. I emailed her three different occasions with a week gap in between. It’s nice to be notified regardless of the outcome. It’s her literal job to reach out you regarding your application status
