I interviewed at Universal Music Group

Interview

It was a Digital Interview, where you record yourself. It was very relaxed. It was a mixture of recording yourself and typing up the answers. There were questions relating to the company and about yourself as well.

HireVue Interview process-you can record however many times you want, so it is relatively easy and relaxed. The questions allowed you to talk more about yourself beyond what is written in a resume.

I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Universal Music Group (New York, NY) in Feb 2023

Interview

The interview process for UMG was nothing out of the ordinary. The interviews felt more like conversations to get to know each other as people and less like a pitch to sell yourself. It took around 3 weeks from start to finish.

Just a few questions about music and your skills. It was very broad but not bad at all. The communication was very strong and overall a nice atmosphere. I unfortunately did not know that some skills were required

Straight forward, fair interview process. There were not really any curveballs and everything I was asked was relevant to how successful I would d be as an employee at UMG. As long as you are genuine and prepared there isn't a lot to worry about in the interview process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Universal Music Group in Jan 2023

Interview

HR reached out via phone without pre-scheduling a screener. Had a short conversation about role and my experience <10 mins. HR said the maximum amount for the role was roughly $35K LESS than the maximum range they had advertised on their website. They said they would see if they were able to meet my minimum required salary (which was $20K less than the maximum advertised on their website). Never heard from them again, when I logged into the career portal it showed my application as "No Longer Under Consideration."

Interview Questions
  • Asked about experience with programs mentioned in job description, and minimum salary I would accept
