Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at HGA (Santa Monica, CA)

Interview

Very quick interview process. Can already tell there is a very toxic work environment - lots of egos need to be stroked. They also clearly don't listen to what your goals are and try to manipulate you into what works for them.
