Overall, the whole process took about 4 months. During that time, I had to bug them about where my application was and, typically, they weren't quick to follow up at any stage. About halfway through, after my initial phone interview, they changed the role on me. They had decided to split it up into two positions (writer and editor) and I continued interviewing for the editor role. When I got to the in person interview, a couple of things felt weird to me: 1. That it seemed like everyone I talked to was French (what's the connection here? No idea.) 2. That they wanted to ask me the same set of questions for each of the job experiences listed on my resume -- it felt very prescribed, not very conversational, and left little room for me to ask them questions, which was especially important since they kept changing the role and I needed to know more about day to day responsibilities before making a decision. 3. They insisted on wanting to check references with my current boss (our CEO) even though I told them I was uncomfortable with that (I didn't want to reveal to my boss that I was looking for jobs before getting an offer) but more than willing to give them the contacts of my former manager at my current job (she had left a few months before). The next day I called to decline moving forward with my application because they 1) weren't offering a salary higher than what I was currently making (and was already below market value). I'm sure I could have gotten it up a bit, but still not to market value. 2) the role itself had dissolved from something interesting and complex (setting the content marketing strategy and managing web content operations) to grunt work (sourcing and publishing listings on the site and getting review) that I had just moved away from in the position I held then. A lot of that is personal, but it's still on Peek for changing the job description and being really, really, slow to follow up. I would have liked to have found out sooner that that job wasn't for me and/or kept the relationship going in case something better opened up.
