Interviewed Nov 2007 in New York, NY (took 4 days)
The interviewing is different from what the job entails, so its a huge disconnect for you as a candidate. No one in the company seems to have an idea of what's wrong with the company. It seems like they are all in a bubble, a modified reality, and somehow do not think the company is facing financial trouble. So when they talk to you, they still act like they are from outer space and expectations are set as if you will be part of a family, but when you start working there, you feel trapped. That is why several employees have left the company within a short span of time. BTW, I also think some departments within the company are racists when it comes to hiring non-white folks as when you walk in, the first thing you notice is that about 75% of workforce is white. Not to say the do not hire others (as that would be against the law), but they certainly prefer white people, esp. at managerial level.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The HR department within the company is probably the poorest performers and the main reason this company is going to fail one day. When I was given an offer I had told them I had a pre-planned vacation coming up, so they assured me that I would be able to take the vacation. When I joined, the HR department along with my new manager gave me a hard time about take vacation so quickly after joining. I even showed them my tickets. The salary negotiation and vacation negotiation is really dependent on how much guts YOU have - the company policy is, no policy. They dont adhere to it that much, so go ahead and ask away - you might just get it.
The interesting fact is, when I left the company (within a short amount of time), the HR lady who helped me get onboard, also helped me leave. Since she left the company shortly after getting me hired, she told me some of her experiences -
- You can only succeed in this company if you know how to brown nose
- If you disagree with someone sr. to you, they will make sure your life becomes miserable.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.
