Interview
Contacted for 2 Zoom interviews and had a 3-4 question editing test. First interview seemed to go really well, second was okay. No feedback on editing test and got a rejection letter multiple weeks after interview. Editing test was pretty standard but definitely feels like free few hours of work.
