I recently interviewed at Appinio and was initially excited about the opportunity, but the process raised concerns about their expectations and organization. A take-home case study was required, and while there was no stated expectation to spend excessive time on it, the scope of tasks would realistically take 30 hours in a real-world setting—showing a lack of respect for candidates' time. The review of the case study focused more on minor details than on overall strategic thinking or problem-solving. The interview also included overly complex hypotheticals that felt detached from real project workflows. Instead of a constructive discussion, it felt overly critical, disorganized, and at times unprofessional, as interviewers aired internal frustrations and pressed me on how I would fix them. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and candidates should be mindful of the time investment required.
