Did a phone interview with the recruiter, which went well --- even though she was late, but hey, people are busy. Very nice girl though. Had a phone interview with the hiring manager. Very kind, professional, and detailed about the role etc. Invited for an interview in-person. When I arrived I was blocked in the lobby, due to sending my resume too much for jobs 5+ years ago. HR still holding onto petty old drama when I was 24, like high school girls. I guess the former Chief HR Officer needed to "flex her power" by putting me on a ban list many years ago prior to her departure from the company because I kept sending my resume to editors. Received an email from a member of the new HR team that I will never be interviewed for a job, and to never contact CN employees. No worries here. I want nothing to do with your company, just like every other employee in the industry. Keep bleeding top talent and money with your stupid hiring practices, and mistreatment of your current/past employees and interns. The current HR team is lucky if they still have jobs in the next two years. Conde Nast still runs their operations in an unethical and disrespectful manner. No wonder why the company is failing rapidly and can't score top talent. Their reputation as "Conde Nasty" is starting to catch up to them. I hope the owners of Conde Nast and all of their partners/advertisers are reading these reviews. Conde Nast is failing because they have zero clue how to properly run a company. Good, they deserve it!
