Interview
The company is quite disorganized even for a startup. Made it to the final round, and although I did enjoy all the team members I met, the companys handling afterwards is certainly memorable and not In a good way. I wrote a thank you email write away. No reply. Followed up 6 days later. Again, no reply. 2 days later, late in the evening a generic rejection. This is after a Zoom final onsite for 3 hours including a chief officer. I've always learned as a recruiter that candidates will always remember a bad candidate experience, and Particle Media/ News Break is definitely a perfect example of a company that doesn't put in the time or effort to treat candidates with respect or dignity. I've never wrote an interview before ON glassdoor but felt it was important to in this case.
Especially during Covid19 times and all the anxiety and stress due to the changing times, I feel that good companies are going above and beyond to be kind and thoughtful to their candidates. Particle Media/ News Break did quite the opposite and I hope they learn from reading this review to treat candidates with more care and grace because candidates do remember the companies that didn't put in the time or effort to be thoughtful. I don't recommend interviewing or joining this company.
