Bazaarvoice Interview Questions

Really enjoyable interview process. Everyone I was in contact with was friendly, bright and passionate about the business which is always a great sign. I was treated really well, and always felt well prepared for each stage thanks to regular check-ins with their recruitment team, who always made the effort to keep me updated. The process was relatively lengthy: 4 stages (phone screen, manager screen, 3 x 30 min team interviews, presentation to a panel), but ultimately a comfort to know how much care the business take when bringing in talent. Most of the team I had spoken to had been in the business for a long time, which speaks volumes.

They will waste a lot of your time with a very lengthy interview and pitch process. You'll video chat with multiple people, then they ask you to do an in-depth presentation that will take you days to prepare for.

It was the worse interview process I ever had. Extremely lengthy 4-5 days, I had to take 3 vacations days and half days off my current job to complete their interviews. The panel interview was with 5 different people and 2 hours long. The video system they use is not Zoom and so out of date and unheard of, it drained my macbook pro battery and crashed my computer 1.5 hours into the interview. They told me to do the presentation the final round and said everyone liked me and they exceptionally wanted to hire me. The final round presentation the 3 pages of paper had no instructions or clear expectations on what the presentation should be on. It said convince the brand to send x amount of units to the warehouse. I went above and beyond and worked days on my presentation and after I gave the demo to them, the hiring manager said they wanted something more casual like a conversation with the brand and not something too formal. But the 3 pages of guidelines said to "convince the brand to send you the product and units." It was so unfair and vague, a new applicant does not know your brand tone and how formal or informal you want a presentation. Most companies want top notch presentations and this company wanted a casual conversation with jokes instead. How is the applicant supposed to know that? I regret interviewing for this company I lost so many vacation days and they were so old fashioned and shady about everything. They don't even use zoom for virtual meets they use an unheard of video webpage looked like myspace. I am so glad I didn't join this company the universe had my back.

Protracted. I had a number of conversations with the in-house recruiter in January, followed by one with my would-be line manager in mid-February, which went very well, and I had feedback to that effect. I was advised that they were looking at building out the structure of the team, so it would take some time to come back to me, but that they really liked my profile, and wanted to progress as and when appropriate. I was fine with that. Despite that, I had to chase for any kind of update repeatedly (email, phone, WhatsApp), with the in-house recruiter mostly unresponsive. Frustrated, and following zero response (phone, voicemail, email, LinkedIn) from the in-house recruiter, I eventually emailed the person who'd set up the video interview with the would-be line manager, who responded, saying that the in-house recruiter was 'buried under a lot of roles'. The in-house recruiter then finally sent me a WhatsApp (I wasn't even worth a phonecall apparently), saying that, "the role has been re-aligned, and we have spoken to number of candidates who are better-suited." I don't even know what that means, nor was I ever given the impression that I wouldn't be considered for the next stage. I suggested to the hiring manager that he call me to explain what's changed; he did, and said that the role was effectively now being split into TWO roles. I asked what the salary was, and it was still in line with what I was looking for, and not particularly different in terms of responsibilities, so I asked to please be put (back) in the frame. The in-house recruiter said, "fine, although i'm just telling you what the hiring manager has told me", rather than offering any kind of constructive feedback, or apologising as to why he hadn't responded to any of my emails or messages. He then called me back, and said something along the lines of there being five or six other people "better-suited" in the process. I expressed disappointment, and confusion, saying that i'd only had positive feedback, and asked what had actually changed to preclude me from the process. I also said how I felt that i'd been fobbed off, and that the process had been a disappointing experience. He then became defensive, saying that I was "being aggressive", and that actually my interview had been "nothing ground-breaking"; I asked him how that was so, in light of the only positive feedback, to which he had no answer. I said that I had a right to my opinion and asked him why i'd had to chase him, and why he felt unable to stay in touch (with any - or no - update) over the last two months. Again, no satisfactory response. For what it's worth, the hiring manager (back when I spoke with him), and the other in-house recruiter (a lady) were both excellent. Serious reservations about this guy is an understatement.

It was a two person panel interview. There was only one round. The interviewer discussed the 1st round(Hackerrank) -how i approached the problems and how it could be optimised.Also they asked OOP fundamentals,HR questions.The interviewers were nice and friendly.

This was the most unprofessional interview process of my career. I interviewed with the recruiter in November 2020. He told me he would contact me by the end of the day with next steps. I never heard from him again, even after I sent a follow-up email. Fast forward to January 2021, that's TWO MONTHS later and I received an email from the recruiter at 1:11 am wanting to urgently schedule me for second round interviews. He scheduled me for FOUR HOURS of consecutive interviews....I feel I do okay, but I hear nothing. Not even a canned rejection letter. It appears I have been ghosted....again.

The hiring manager was dismissive and judgemental. After I experienced two layoffs, she was uninterested although I was more than qualified for the job. Very judgemental considering the state of the world. At the end of the call, I asked questions about the role and the company. In the middle of asking a question, she cut me off and said she had another meeting and never offered to answer my questions via email. She also asked me to choose between sales and marketing as a passion. People have multiple passions in life.

I was referred in by someone who works there. I got set up with a screening call which went well. Then I did a mock email to a client as an assignment from the recruiter. From there I was passed onto a manager for a phone interview. It felt a little off to me, like maybe he wasn't prepared or I just wasn't saying what he wanted to hear.

The interview was good but the definition of the role seemed to be a bit off. After speaking about it with the hiring manager, it was more of a Scrum role and a business software ownership role.
