All at Merion Matters

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in King of Prussia, PA – Reviewed Mar 7, 2013

Interview Details – The interview process is extremely thorough and they leave no detail forgotten. Have your story set before your interview and know exactly what your direction is for the future (and make sure it is in line with the position you are applying for or forget about an offer). You will not survive if you have not done thorough research on not only the position you are applying for but the company as a whole. You should also (mentally) prepare a long list of thoughtful and relevant questions for evey person who interviews you or you do not stand a chance. Testing is performed for every position - written, role plays, technical, etc.

Interview Question – They operate using a behavioral based interview style for most positions. Think of situations that you have encountered in your professional life that would apply to the role you are interviewing for.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – They will negotiate with you over $500...(not exaggerating). Have a firm but realistic idea of what salary you will accept. There salaries are overall low-average but also realistic for the size of the company and for what you're responsibilities will entail. They do a great job of discussing a potential offer during the interview/reference checking process so there really should be no surprises when an offer is made.

Sales at Merion Matters

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2012 – Reviewed Apr 11, 2012

Interview Details – Very organized I had a resourceful recruiter. Got the job online app. Be prepared for lots of questions about what you did at your last job. The interview was in hour long and draining she wanted me to be very specific about examples the normal behavioral questions. If you don't have sales experience you will not last. The second interview is a mock sales pitch where you talk on the phone and demonstrate a sales call. I didn't even go to this interview even though I made it to this interview.

Interview Questions

  • she described what I will be selling and we conversed about the products and how I felt about them and if I will be able to sell them aand what my strategy will be   Answer Question
  • describe a difficult customer and how you dealt with it
    what will be your favorite thing to sell
    what will be your favorite thing to sell
      Answer Question

Reason for Declining – The pay was an insult. 30k starting base/regular base it works like if you cant cover your base through your commissions your guaranteed 30k per year but half their staff don't beat their salary through their commission(and this is coming from the sales manager). I know Im a reason grad but cut me a break seriously.
