I interviewed at Informa

Interview

Tedious, pretty complex and time consuming. Not enough time given to prepare a presentation. Expect too much out of the candidate. Not a two way interview. Pretty daunting for a low level role.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Informa (London, England) in Jun 2023

Interview

I say the interview difficulty was 'average' purely because the main person interviewing me essentially took interview questions from a Stefan Wolpers scrum master questions guide. I've found scrum master interviews are along two lines, either: - They presume you know all the fluffy agile lingo and want to hear about exactly how you yourself facilitate the whole delivery process OR - They've got easy stakeholders so they dwell on the fluffy touchy-feely side of agile. This was the latter.

Interview Questions
  • Examples include: - Elevator pitch e.g. Explain agile in 10 seconds to a non-agile person. - How are you emotionally intelligent. - What metrics do you use.

Average Interview
Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Informa (Denver, CO) in May 2023

Interview

It was a rollercoaster experience and not the fun kind. The job I applied for did not have salary transparency. So in my application when asked what my salary expectations are, I stated that I would like to know what range Informa had approved for this position. This caused me to get an automatic rejection which was then retracted when the internal recruiter realized I had a referral and reached out for an interview. That was my introduction to Informa and while I didn't love it, I was still really interested in the position and went ahead with the interview. During the interview we went over my experience, he asked questions, I asked questions. It was a pretty standard first interview. At the end of every interview I like to ask the interviewer if they have any hesitations about me joining the team or proceeding with the interview process. His response was that he did not have any hesitations, he thought I would be a great fit for the company, and my experience lined up with what they were looking for. He said I would hear from him later that day or the next (at the latest) to set up the next interview. He even said he was going to forward me an email from the head of design regarding why another candidate didn't make it through the testing round, which I thought was a bit strange. I sent an email thanking him for his time and heard nothing for 4 days at which point I followed up. Nothing for another 2 days so I followed up again. Then, one week later I received an AUTOMATED email telling me they would not be moving forward with my application. After things went so well and I was told I was getting a second interview, the last thing I expected was a rejection email, and I certainly didn't expect one with zero personalization or explanation. I can honestly say it was one of the most confusing processes I've experienced.

I applied online. I interviewed at Informa (Singapore) in Apr 2023

Interview

Recruiter call felt rushed; did not want to entertain questions. They didn't know anything about the role and they just wanted to get a salary quote from the candidate. (Max salary offered was a mere 4.5k/month, no bonuses, poor benefits) 2nd interview was with hiring manager and their boss; both felt unfriendly and it really wasn't a good culture fit.

Interview Questions
  • - Are you willing to work in the office and thoughts on overtime/being contacted outside of working hours - Current employment laws (they tried to trip me up by asking about fake laws - tip: make sure to ask them for context or where they saw the "update")

Interview Tips

Graduate Student

Hi! Looking for some advice regarding hiring processes. I completed 2 interviews with the company and they emailed to say they "want to put me forward for the job" and asked for references, passport, and for me to do a background check. I didn't hear anything for a week, so then emailed to check on my application status. They responded saying they would get back at the end of that week. Its been 2 weeks since. I emailed last week to ask for an update and have not received a response. Thoughts?

ComEd

Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

Administrative Assistant

I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.
