      Strategic Growth Manager Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Compass (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      A great place to apply if you interested in being condensed to by someone who has no respect for your time. The worst interview experience I've ever had. Let me start from the beginning. Was passively contacted by a recruiter on Linkedin. I wasn't actively looking but the recruiter was great, friendly, and peaked my interest. The first person I spoke with was a SGM himself and we had a great conversation. He was informative, helpful, and answered all my questions regarding the position, responsibilities, and company. He provided me with excellent feedback and was transparent and upfront in his opinion that I'd be a great fit for this role. Coming out of that interview I felt good about Compass culturally, until I showed up for my next interview with a Business Development person who has been with Compass for 3 years based out of New York. She turned me off the opportunity almost immediatly by making it clear from the onset that she had better things to do than speak with me, and that her time was more valuable than mine. She had not reviewed my background, my resume, and she had no notes or information from the recruiter nor the SGM I already spoke with. As a result she ended up asking me the exact same questions I had already answered. The interview was scheduled for 45 minutes but at around the 30 minute mark she informed me she had 5 minutes left and asked if I had any questions. When I asked my question, she literally refused to answer it -- instead (in the most condensing, unprofessional, and arrogant way possible) proceeded to lecture me for 5 minutes on why she wouldn't answer my inquiry into the position, and why she didn't like my question -- question being how my background and skillsets would tie into the position. When she was done, I thanked her for her time and hung up. She obviously didn't care that I had taken time off my current job to speak with her. I had spent several hours reviewing the companies technology and preparing, but none of that came up, and she was not prepared for the call at all. I don't even think she knew I was currently employed based on her failing to review my credentials beforehand. A complete and utter waste of time, with a grain of salt in that I had received other offers at the same time and was able to withdraw from consideration for a role at Compass based on the, seemingly, toxic and arrogant culture this person embodied. Working for or with someone like that would be a nightmare, I'm sure. I don't know if she was having a bad day, or if she is always like this -- but this person has no business being the face of Compass in the interview process. I'm ecstatic to be starting my new job in the next few weeks and thankful I dodged a bullet with Compass. I would not recommend applying here to anyone.

      I applied online. I interviewed at Compass

      Interview

      Felt similar to another SGM interview I read on Glassdoor. Had one call with recruiter and felt like I was just a number to boost number of people interviewed for the position.

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Compass (New York, NY) in Jun 2024

      Interview

      I was told it was a 4-5 interview process. I completed an introductory interview with the main recruiter for the department. He prepped me for the second interview. I was prepared to speak very specifically about the requirements of the position but unfortunately the head of the department did not ask me anything about my knowledge of the product and steered the conversation away from it when I attempted to display how my experience would fit the position. I wasn’t offered a second interview despite being uniquely qualified.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Compass in Apr 2024

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out to me several times. On our call she immediately prefaced the call with "Well this wont take long at all" and sounded like she was speed reading through a job description. Then she asked to learn a little about my background. After I shared about my bg, no questions were asked and was told that she will share the information with the hiring people and will get back to me. I don't even think I was able to say Bye as she hung up so quick. I've been in recruiting and staffing for many years and this was the most unprofessional recruiter I've spoken to. She sounded impatient and just trying to get her numbers in. I was honestly so shocked.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      No questions were asked about me, what I'm looking for, no follow up questions on my experience, background, etc. It was a complete waste of my time, but at least it wasn't a 30 min call because she was right - it didnt take long about a 9 minute phone call.
