I’m curious about the interview process at Droga5. People say they “hire for the agency.” What does that mean?

When they hire you, you'll be working at the agency. Not at a hot dog cart.

It essentially means nothing. It’s just a pompous saying their recruiters are taught to say and it’s patently untrue.

I️ went to droga for a monthlong freelance gig. Two weeks into it, after having proved nothing, I was asked to join full-time because people seemed to like me. There was no process. And I️ should have said no.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
