Contacted a month after application date. Interview went very smooth with previous work displayed. However, the hiring manager/founder ghosted after the first round. Very unethical behavior displayed. Even after multiple attempts, no response.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My previous work to be showcased during the interview.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Spoonity (Ottawa, ON) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process was lengthy, poorly managed, and progressively distressing, ultimately leading me to withdraw due to what I experienced as abusive, disrespectful, and unethical in its hiring practices. It lacked clarity, consistency, and basic standards of respect. The process did not resemble a legitimate recruitment effort, instead, it felt coercive and extractive.

Question 1
I was asked to prepare a comprehensive strategic plan with defined scope, internal inputs, and expected deliverables with the expectation that this material be sent to them to be reviewed ahead of time, blurring the line between a reasonable interview assessment and unpaid consulting work.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Spoonity (Ottawa, ON) in Mar 2015
Interview
Had a few phone calls with Sales Manager then had a finale skype interview with the Sales Manager and CEO. It was quite smooth as it helped me prepare for the final presentation to the CEO & Sales Manager
