Interviewing with this company felt like a part time job. After I initially applied online, a recruiter reach out via my LinkedIn inbox. He scheduled a 30 minute introductory call for the next week. First call went fine, recruiter spent a lot of time talking up the company, and amazingly tried to claim that they had a 0% turnover rate (sure, buddy). He did share salary information upfront which was appreciated. Later that week, he messaged me to let me know I had two more interviews scheduled back to back for the very next day. Second interview was with a manager, nice guy overall. After our half hour conversation, we both waited for the next interviewer to hop on... Turns out the recruiter forgot to send her an invite. Oops. Recruiter apologized and rescheduled for the next day. Right, so now I'm three interviews in. Next week comes along... I get a message from the recruiter again. "Are you free to interview tomorrow?" I agreed to another set of back to back interviews: one with a manager, and another with a director. Both were nice and clearly knowledgeable in their fields. Since this is an agency gig, I decide to ask both of them what work-life balance is like. I pretty much got the response I was expecting... overtime was not overtly 'required' but an absolute necessity if you want to excel at Flywheel. I was also told by the manager that many people hired for this particular job come straight out of college.... seemed odd to me since a great deal of the questions I'd been asked thus far had been real-world marketing and data-analytics related. After those wrapped up, another few days passed. And once again I was sent yet another last-minute interview request from the recruiter; another set of back to back interviews with a director and manager. These last two interviews soured my outlook quite a bit. Again, I posed the question of work-life balance, and the manager told me that I would probably be putting in 60 hours a week for the first half a year, and that would level out to about 50 hours per week. This same manager also told me that he did not care about my past internship experience *at all* because the 'learning opportunities there are limited. In fact, he told me straight up that my high GPA in college was the biggest plus he saw on my resume. Nevermind the two years' worth of full-time marketing roles I had under my belt. After 7 total interviews... I waited two weeks to hear back. The recruiter apologized (he was on vacation) and told me that they decided to move on with another candidate who had more 'direct and hands-on Amazon knowledge.' To sum everything up... if you're thinking about applying to Flywheel, make sure you know what you're getting into. It's an agency gig, and though not all agency work is the same, Flywheel seems to fall in line with many others in expecting loads of extra hours put in to satisfy clients. Expect 5+ interviews, with many scheduled last-minute. If you're like me and already have a full-time job this can be quite tiresome and stressful. They seem to prefer younger people who are straight out of college (probably because it's easier to work them to the bone). Lastly, they're hyper-reliant on the Amazon platform. Everyone I talked to shuddered at the mention of Prime Day as it's a make-it or break-it time for all of their clients. They claim that they're branching out into others (Instacart, Walmart, Home Depot), but if you're looking for well-rounded experience in digital marketing this is probably no the place for you.
