Bewerbungsfragen
According to introduction Feather was built to simplify every step of the insurance experience; but they certainly don't simplify their recruiting process and don't appreciate the time ot their applicants
5 rounds of interview stages (including written preparation of case study, where the applicant has to do already (unpaid) work for Feather, invest at least 3 to 4 hours for the case study and must deliver their ideas/intellectual property for free which Feather can use for daily marketing practices and for enhancing their revenue), which equals in total at least 8, likely more hours time invest from the applicants including preparation for the interviews
no appreciation for the applicants or the time of the applicants, taking advantage of the fact that every mareting role has hundreds of applicants; an no, to give an idea of the type of projects future employees take on at Feather, you don't need to make applicants elaborate unpaid tasks, especially when they have experience in the field, which the applicants for a Senior position certainly have; you can just tell the projects in the interviews, and if you don't trust that the applicants have the skills, ask them how they would approach them without having them delivering specific ideas -> so the whole "Take-home task"/case study ist just a way to get unpaid ideas from the applicants which Feather can then use to make money!
max. 68 k Euro for a Senior Marketing position with several years of experience and valuable skills is also in Berlin just average. Especially considering the fact that you have to work on an unpaid case study at least 3 to 4 hours to give Feather your ideas/intelectual property for free, so they can make money out of it
