Penguin Basements interview questions

Yes, we move quick and are slowing down the process. As you can imagine a company that is growing quickly needs to make hiring decisions quickly too, however we are using the feedback to assess our selection process and implement filters to ensure we are gauging fit - time spent on hiring is time well spent.

Our focus at Penguin is hiring for fit and culture vs. skills. Based off a resume or LinkedIn profile, our hiring managers can gauge if candidates can do the job, but - can you do the job right? Right, being to our standards, values and briefs. We’ve actually passed on a lot of really smart, talented people that we know can make an immediate impact on our top or bottom line, but if they’re not good for the company culture, we won’t hire them for that reason alone. That's why, for entry level positions, the interview process is more casual and conversational - we want to ensure there is a "click". As for any discussions beyond your experience and educational background, were off the record by Penguins with those of a shared (religious) background. We pride ourselves on having an extremely diversity team, with team members from many different nationalities, religions and background!
