I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at AKQA in Dec 2022
Interview
Passed the initial recruiter + hiring manager call, but the next round (portfolio presentation) was rescheduled multiple times and resulted it being cancelled due to "company restructure." Lack of communication and transparency during the interview process — very unprofessional to cancel an interview on such notice MULTIPLE times.
