Interviewed Mar 2008 in New York, NY (took a day)
First interview took place over the phone with a very young HR rep - turns out I was older than him. Broke down the salary immediately and after 2 - 3 minutes of light conversation - was offered a time to come in. You need to take a SPELLING test of a press release upon arrival - extremely easy but brush up. After meeting him - I moved onto a mid level HR rep - who both seemed very enthusiastic. Simple questions - why do you like PR? Why Rubenstein? Talents etc etc.
They call some of your references so be prepped for that.
Office culture is very 1950's - everyone in suits - very old executives with very young assistants. I left the company after 7 months.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Rubenstein does not allow salary negotiations for its assistants at all. Take it or leave it. Despite that many interviewing for the position have tremendous amount of experience and talent - Rubenstein views all assistant account executives as fresh-out-of-college entry level workers. The salary is very low ~ 30,000. You must really love PR - because they get every cent out of you - and if you don't like it tough.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.
