We're bummed that you were disappointed in the interview process. Please understand in the era of everyone believing they are a social media expert, hiring for our social media and content team is more rigorous process that involves all the department heads that interact with social. Judging by the interview questions, you made it to the last round, and interviewed with me. Having participated in team sports is important to us. It's not a deal breaker, but it's a leading indicator of collaboration and cooperation.
Your comment about diversity we do take seriously. We acknowledge advertising's historic lack of diversity, and have steadily improved our diversity over the last 4 years, while also prioritizing the right skill sets and perspective for all roles. It's never perfect, but we're committed to progress. In fact, the person hired for this position was a person of color, and if my memory holds, all three final candidates for this role were from diverse backgrounds. However, those are not the reasons they rose to the final three. We will absolutely take your feedback seriously about tightening our interview and response times.
Have a great day, stay in touch, and good luck in all your endeavors.
