Luckily the few times I’ve been asked this involved companies I wasn’t super sold on. So I got to say, “Well, I’m here to learn more about you guys and see if I’m a fit for you and vice versa.”

Basically saying, “I’m not sure i want to work for you, and you have to earn my interest as well.”

Have interviewed a couple of people from WK over the past few weeks and have been hearing a lot about how it’s becoming a pretty horrible place to work since Susan came onboard. The criticism was more around actually working there than the work itself but is it really that bad? One of the candidates was saying that many of the good creatives have been leaving or are planning to leave because of this. I haven’t ever worked for Susan so I have no clue. Anyone heard anything similar?
