Overall positive. Several rounds of interviews, including a final interview with the President. I felt that the team was getting to know me as much as I was getting to know them (a dual interview of sorts).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe challenges you have faced working a group and how you moved past them.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at GOBankingRates (El Segundo, CA)
Interview
I was recruited via LinkedIn then had a 15 minute phone screening. After the recruiter determined I might be a good fit for the role, she invited me to a group interview on 1 of 2 days during the following week (I chose the second day). When I arrived at the interview site, the recruiter was not there, so I sat in the waiting area with another candidate. After a few minutes, the recruiter appeared and led us into an empty meeting room. She left us there for around 15 minutes. One of the other candidates was 10 minutes late. We all talked about our lives and aspirations and wondered when the recruiter would return. When the recruiter came back, she conducted the interview and it was an average experience. It's a bit annoying when other candidates steal your answer to certain questions such as, "In your words, what is this company about?" (After you give your answer, the other candidate replies, "Yeah, what he said.")
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at GOBankingRates (El Segundo, CA)
Interview
Recruiter was very friendly when reaching out to schedule a phone interview. Met with the hiring team, 2 members, about the role and my interest. Received notice that they were not moving forward within a week. Pretty quick turn around.
