      Learning and Development Manager Interview

      Jun 18, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at BBC (London, CA)

      Interview

      UNBELIEVABLY WOEFUL - If you are interested in taking things forward, being treated well as a candidate or working with progressive people - look elsewhere Feedback was that the 'themes' were too high-level and, though appreciated, - they wanted more 'detailed' / 'in-the-weeds' response 'set' - so the question is why send out a high-level brief - the natural assumption is that the greater detail is discussed later in the process. To be frank - I was warned that the BBC was an organisation that made life difficult - for itself. That said I cannot over emphasise what a strange experience it has been. The final straw was speaking to a member of the recruitment team - taking the time to extend in a constructive fashion just how flawed a process it was - out of a genuine place... The response I got was ASTOUNDING. I asked - 'you don't sound at all interested' The response: 'Well you did prattle on a bit'. Hilarious admittedly - but deeply unprofessional and frankly alarming - totally arrogant! You do not speak to ANY candidate like that - let alone a senior one. Humility is everything

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Lets put this in context: i was asked to put together a high-level presentation - with VERY little time - the BBC does nottake into account peoples personal circumstances - was asked to present to a relatively senior adience in a TINY room - with no presentation facilities nor the option to use notes or other presentation tools. Great start! Frankly the whole session was an idea shopping session (how do we manage to achieve DG edicts!) or convoluted...asking for ways to sole deeply ingrained and institutional issues - if you answered correctly that, without understanding the causal internal factors for certain issues, you could create the most amazing learning program - however it may have minimal impact. Questions generally were awful.
