Krotos interview questions

Ask yourself if you'd like to work for a company that has no issue setting unpaid assessment tasks that, by their estimation, should take at least 3 hours to complete. Had an initial chat with HR and was then sent the assessment task. On principle I dislike doing work for free, and the task they sent is genuinely beyond the pale. It's not that the questions themselves were difficult, it's that they weren't hypothetical situations so it felt like I was just troubleshooting problems for them. Here it is: "This test is designed to evaluate your strategic thinking, hands-on skills, and ability to analyse and optimise marketing efforts. Please focus on quality and clarity rather than length. We understand your time is valuable, so we've estimated the total time required for each of the 5 parts. We value concise, well-thought-out responses. Submit your work as a single ZIP folder or Google Drive link within 4 days of receiving this test. Part 1: Strategic Marketing Plan (1-2 hours) Deliverable: A PDF document (1-2 pages).

It was an initial call followed by a take away coding task and technical interview. The process was smooth and welcoming. The team were interesting and made me feel at ease.
