Hearst Corporation Interview Questions & Reviews

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. Just school credit, unpaid.

Interview Details – Was called, phone interviewed and never heard back again.

Interview Details – I got contacted by their internal HR about the position, but I was originally not too interested at first. The descriptions of the position were a bit vague till I was able to speak to the right people about the position. First it was a phone call, which then escalated into an interview.

Interview Details – I got a phone call asking to come in for an interview. I came in and sat down and discussed the job - he was very honest and straight forward about it. Asked me about myself and my experience and then told me the "nuts and bolts" of the job and made sure I was still interested.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation.

Interview Details – Interviewing : Asking how much money you would like to make in a year? They want you to say over 100,000 :)

Interview Details – At first, I was contacted a day after I originally applied online for the position. I was very excited because I was qualified for the work, and it was in a field of interest. The hiring manager seemed very cheery, polite and organized through email. She asked me to input a time I could meet according to HER schedule, and to make it work. We confirmed our interview time, and from there, she rescheduled. Then she did so again. And again. And might I say...yes, again! From there, I was supposed to meet her at the Hearst Tower, and I was an hour early. I waited another additional hour; no word from her. The security guards were even worried that I was sitting around so long. I finally emailed her an hour and thirty minutes into waiting, and she emailed me back and told me she left for a shoot and wouldn't be able to make it! I sucked it up and told her I could meet the next week. She met me at the scheduled time -- and grilled me with difficult questions during the entire interview. She barely spoke about the company to me, and told me I would be contacted a few days later on my status. Overall, this woman had no regard for my time -- something I should've known from the various (12!) reschedules.

Interview Details – Contacted via email by HR. Scheduled phone interview with HR, who later scheduled an in-person with manager. HR re-scheduled interview with manager couple of hours on day of interview because manager had some other meeting to attend.
Manager asked general questions and said I might be called for another in-person to interview with team. Wonder why they could not schedule both on same day. As someone who themselves were interviewed, they should know it is difficult to take time-off from work for all the interviews.
Second in-person was with two team members at the same time. Got a clear sense they were over-worked and frustrated.
Overall did not seem like a good environment and work culture.

Interview Details – The interview was great. I came as prepared as possible- I had my portfolio and asked a lot of questions about the internship. I also showed the manager that I had done my research about Hearst.

The interview lasted 30 minutes. The manager then asked me to email her some of my work and told me that there will be a second interview the following week. That same day I emailed and the next day she told me that the staff and her were very impressed with my work and offered me the position.
