I spoke with Buckley, the Director of Production, over the phone and then with Nathalie, the Director of Creative Technology. The following week I was invited into the office for an in-person interview with both of them and their VP of Operations. While there, I saw their product. Unfortunately from a compositor's point of view, it was not a very polished final delivery but it made sense why they were now hiring more compositors and I was excited to work for such a young company where my input would really make a difference.
The interview was awkward since we had already covered everything over the phone. They seemed interested enough to invite me in but didn't have anything to ask me once I was there. We just small-talked for an hour. I tried to ask questions about the future of the company and role that they saw for the compositors as the company matured. This seemed to annoy them a bit because they don't really know. They have a lot of money and a lot of ideas but no clear vision. If they do, the bosses haven't shared it with the people that were interviewing me because all three of them contradicted each other.
The interview process was sloppy. I don't mind blaming myself for not getting the job but the offensive end to the story is that they never called back to say, "no thank you." That is just plain unprofessional.
