Interview
Before the interview I was told (very specific) to look at their website and at their competitors. At the interview I was then almost only asked marketing related questions, about their products, their marketing, their competitors and what ideas I had for improvements for everything from products to marketing. The team lead/interviewer couldn't answer very basic questions about the role and the company and was just zoned out, he only listened and made notes when I was answering the marketing related questions. That together with very contradicting information form the recruiter and the teamlead/interviewer makes me think this wasn't an interview but just a free marketing research interview for them. I would be very carefull with not wasting my time with this company. Also check out all the bad reviews the get from their custommers.
