The first interview was a video call - all good but I could see that one of the men interviewing me was editing WHILST interviewing me - I could see the reflection of his Premiere Pro timeline in his glasses. Is that indicative of a lack of respect, or is the workload so ridiculously heavy that one cannot stop for a video interview to meet a potential new hire?
The second interview was in-office, all good, until an editing task. Every editor works differently, it's an art form, and some of the employees being editors themselves should know that, however, this task was near impossible to complete in the remaining thirty minutes of office time unless you were working like a machine. No time for creativity, no time for a different style of editing, you have to edit exactly like how their other editors do. I was shown a few new techniques that I don't incorporate into my own working processes currently, and because I did not drop my own way of working to immediately work their way (despite the exact reason for the editing task to be IN office is for them to be able to see how somebody edits) I was given that as negative "feedback".
It is clear to me that Springpod only wants cogs in a machine to churn out content.
