RetailMeNot Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Thought we had a good conversation, went way over the allotted time frame via phone. I asked a lot of questions and talked about my experience. I thought things went well; I have a lot of experience and expressed my interest in their company via my questions. I was told I would hear back two days later...it has now been a week...and no call

Interview Details – Technical question is:
Consider you wanna fabricate a anonymous letter whose words and abcdef... are cut off from a news paper. So the question is, if this news paper could compose all the alphabetics you need. Write a method in JAVA that returns boolean type. And answer the average speed

Interview Details – First interviewed on campus, and was asked some easy problems about OO, and a simple problem about detecting duplicate items in an array.
Invited to Austin to get the on-site interview. I was not prepared well so I didn't perform well in the process. But the problems are not that tough. If you have some basic ideas on linked list, hashmap, tree,etc, I think you can handle that. Also, they focus on web development so they might prefer people who knows python and php.

Interview Details – Interview was 6-7 individuals most of which hadn't read my resume or knew why I was there. The juniors emphasized the chaotic environment, insane amount of work and lack of leadership. When they decided they didn't want me, they cut the last couple of interviews with no feedback despite the fact I'd spent all day there. Pretty unprofessional on the whole.

Interview Details – Process took several weeks. Phone interviews and on-site interview with Partner Management team from VP, Account Director, Partner Manager and Coordinator. You will have multiple individual interviews over several hours and then the team comes back together in a round table format to determine any next steps.

I'm not going to share any competitive detail about the company, team structure changes or salary except that if you want this job? ....Your resume is secondary. Lots of people can do the job, it's not hard. Don't spend all your time researching and educating yourself on the company, industry and role. Your passion for affiliate marketing is primary and you absolutely have to demonstrate that it excites you. ....and they have to like you and believe you!

Interview Details – I was referred to this position by a current employee and old friend. I had a quick sanity-check phoner with Recruiter to cover the basics; start time, salary range, background on company. I was scheduled to come in for an in-person. I spent 4 hours with 5 different people: Senior Recruiter, VP of Product, UX Designer, Visual Designer, UI Developer. I walked through my work and was encouraged by the discussion of company vision and expectations of day-to-day work. The VP of Product asked more conceptual questions like "What makes a great designer" and "What kind of problems do you like solving." I didn't have a lot of time to discuss work, but I felt very comfortable and the responses were great.

Interview Details – Applied online for this particular position, and they were speedy in setting up a time for me to come in. Interesting bc they wanted to wait until the CEO would be in the office which pushed my interview back a few weeks. Very cool office in downtown Austin, and a great feel throughout the entire office

Interview Details – First off, They are looking for people who are self-starters, highly entrepreneurial, have great business sense, and good in technology.

It all started by applying to the website, within 24 hours they contacted me via email and set-up a phone interview with the recruiter. It was basically going over my history. I had a good conversation with the recruiter, and they set-up a phone interview with a Product Manager at the company for a few days later.

That phone interview was basically a repeat, discussing my history and why I was interested in Product management. After that phone interview, they set-up an onsite interview (I live in Austin) for about a week later. The on-site interview was with 5 people, a developer, product manager, business dev, Director of Product and Senior Director of Product.

In all honesty, the interviews didn't seem hard. It was basically a conversation of what they did, and what I have done. I came in well prepared knowing everything about the company, it's strategy, products, and even did background research on the people who would be interviewing me. I had about two pages of questions for each person interviewing me. I was also interviewing them. :-)

I honestly enjoyed the conversations, and perhaps this was one of the reasons I didn't get hired. I was so relaxed that we had great conversations that got a bit side-tracked on technology and innovation. See my post-moratum for details on that.

I left the interviews pretty confident.

The next morning I got an email from the recruiter saying thanks for my time, but I they decided not to go with me.

Interview Details – Phone interview, in-person interview, etc.
