      Marketing Assistant Interview

      Apr 18, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson

      Interview

      I know someone who works here and met with her and her co-worker to discuss the company in general. She helped me get in touch with the manager for the department I had applied to online. I had a phone interview and I think it went well. The man I spoke with asked the typical interview questions for an entry-level job and he was easy to talk to. We even had a nice conversation about something unrelated to the job. I was asked if I would like to come in the next week to discuss further. Despite the reviews I've seen on Glassdoor, I said yes as I would love to work for a publishing company like Pearson. Plus I like the higher education industry. I was told I'd receive details via email on the weekend (my interview was mid-week). I have yet to hear back, despite thanking the interviewer and following up twice. I understand not receiving a response for every application sent out, but since I spoke to someone directly and I was under the impression I had an in-person interview scheduled, I'm extremely disappointed I received no response, regardless of the outcome. So, I guess no offer.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      I was asked about my experience from my resume, so the interviewer was well-prepared.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Pearson (New York, NY) in Mar 2020

      Interview

      The interview overall went well. Since it was an entry level position they asked me to go down my resume and speak about the jobs I had in the past and what I liked about them.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson in Dec 2015

      Interview

      I submitted by Cover Letter and Resume at the end of November. A week later I set up a phone interview, that later turned into 3 phone interviews with 3 different people spread over 2 days. Each phone interview lasted about 30-45 minutes. It was odd since they seemed to all work remotely and one of the people interviewing me had to stop mid-way since her dog was barking; found it a tad unprofessional. I sent my follow-up thank you emails to each one, but I never heard back (from any of them).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standard interview questions. I was asked to let them know who the "real me" is, and so they asked my favorite movie..
