      Account Executive Interview

      Feb 7, 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paramount in Jul 2009

      Interview

      I was applying for a promotion during one of our country's most difficult economic times ever. Competition was stiff both inside and outside of the company. The interview process, and interviewees pushed me to consider and to sell them on my competitive advantage. I use this habit on a daily basis in this role--and is a mindset I never anticipated developing had it not been for the timing and circumstances. The bosses were frank, honest, and tough.

      Account Executive Interview

      Nov 4, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY) in Apr 2011

      Interview

      Basic sales interview to see if you have a personality and existing client relationships. In order to even get an Account Executive interview, you probably already have contacts at Viacom. Be prepared to know what you can offer Viacom as a sales person, a couple of stock questions about the job and possibly areas that you would like to learn / grow.

      Account Executive Interview

      Mar 30, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY) in Nov 2010

      Interview

      One of the VP's in Sales was really impressed by me at a client meeting. He mentioned that there was an Account Executive position available on the Sales team and wanted to see if I'd be interested in making a move from Marketing to Sales. After referring me to the two VP's overseeing that particular position, I met with them and spoke more in depth about the role. They really liked me, and I would have gone farther in the process. However, right after we had that meeting, the entire Sales team had been restructured and that position was eliminated so i didn't get the job.
