>>92381581I was a couple years out of school, cold calling places, shitting out job applications for animation/art/programming jobs like crazy. They just came up on my radar because I'm located in Canada, and they're based out of Montreal which seems like an amazing city to live in, but it would've meant uprooting my entire life.
So I sent them an email, cover letter, where I was, what I was looking for (In my mind I figured I would get an internship if I was lucky) and surprisingly they got back to me. They told me they were not looking for a programmer at the moment, so I sent them some info on where I was with animation stuff and the kind of work and position I was interested in that (Unpaid internship)
I spoke on the phone twice, a different person each time. Both times neither person was 100% clear to me on the position they held within the company, even when I point blank asked the second person.
They were rude, unclear as to what my position would even be or how long it would be for, could not even give me a loose example of what my day to day would be, whether it would be paid or not (Not that I cared either way but I need to know going in so I can prepare myself to moonlight as a dishwasher or waiter or something, Montreal is not a cheap city to live in)
During the first phone call the interviewer randomly switched to speaking French (Canada's second language), and I'm not awful at French, I took it a bit in college and can carry a conversation pretty alright in it but about a couple minutes into me speaking French the interviewer laughed and started mocking my poor french (En Français)
It was a weird experience. I have a feeling above all else management caused that company to sink, along side of a poor talent pool.
