I applied to be a Media Analyst with Ampush through my college and continued through a multi step process of many interviews until receiving an offer, which I ultimately declined. The interview process consisted of an online test (5 questions, straightforward marketing math), a phone interview, an in person interview (three back to back interviewers) at the New York office, an in person presentation (requiring a couple hours of prep), and finally an hour long phone interview with the CEO. After my conversation with the CEO, I was asked to send in my SAT scores and provide two references. Then, I was asked for a third reference (they called all three). After all of that, I spoke with HR several times before receiving an offer. I found the interview process to be unnecessarily lengthy, grueling, and not transparent. At each step, Ampush was very unclear as to what the next step would be or how far along I was. I found it bizarre and slightly insulting that I was asked to provide my SAT scores after my conversation with the CEO - seems like they could have asked for that earlier in the process if it was something they needed. I ultimately declined because the company did not seem to be a good personality match. It did not appear to be very diverse (especially gender wise). They seemed to expect 50-60 hours a week. They boast fun start up culture but I did not feel like that was truly their vibe. During our final interview, the CEO challenged many of my responses to his questions. Wasn't sure that that was really an effective tactic for getting to know me or my work style. After I declined, everyone I had met or spoken to at Ampush (including the CEO) reached out to me to express disappointment, get feedback about why I said no, and to wish me luck with the job I did choose, which I appreciated a lot. The person who would have been my boss was especially kind. It became way more apparent how much they were interested in me as a candidate only after I said no, which is a result of a confusing and lengthy interview process. I hope for their sake that they work on this, as I think that it is probably a generally fine place to work that just has some growing pains.
