Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citruslabs (Boston, MA) in Nov 2023
Interview
The interviewers asked for 2/3 rounds of interviews with a final project marketing proposal. The team did not pay or consider a project outside of the scope of the company's purview. The company benefited directly from the comprehensive proposal submitted for the final interview. The team was extremely slow to provide feedback and decided not to hire for the position. It was very inconsiderate and typical of an early-stage startup with resource constraints.

Question 1
Why Citruslabs? Explain your background and interest here
I was asked to prepare a case study as part of the job interview process, which I did. I was then interviewed by one of the founders and the hiring manager on 2 separate calls. I was later told they changed their mind about filling this position, which was a complete waste of my time (especially given that I had to do a case study presentation).
