Volusion Interview Questions

Video call with scrum master and high-level developer. Very conversational - they were more interested my approach to a problem over the syntax and whatnot. Questions were not difficult - just seemed useful to weed out people that had no experience in the particular disciplines.

I would love to know how I am not qualified for this position, when according to the job description, my skills would make me overqualified. And how a current employee, who worked as a server in a restaurant before this, got the position over me. Make it make sense. Do not waste your time even applying at this company.

Applied online. Very disinterested recruiter asking questions and I suppose taking notes. Seemed bored by their job right off the bat. Made it clear that their PMs currently handle rosters of 30+ clients, act as the main contact for these clients, and they pay only $55k/year. Was chosen for the next round, which asked three fairly detailed questions and said you should only spend 15 min on answering them and you must submit 48 hours from the time it was sent to you (which was a Friday afternoon.) It would have taken at least an hour to give full answers for the questions posited, and I decided there that upper management must not have a great sense of how much time individual tasks actually take to accomplish correctly. As a PM, I am keenly aware of how that difference in perception negatively affects teams, and I chose not to continue.

Applying was streamlined and concise. Initial phone interview with their People and Culture Recruiter. I was given an exercise to build a marketing campaign for a client. Next Steps was a virtual video interview with Manager and team.

Phone interview with recruiter, second round was a series of three separate zoom interviews. One interviewer on the same role, a VP, and the supervising manager. Everyone was very friendly and approachable.

long, most employees are confused about the direction of the company. too many changes, too much politics. and they all seem to be unhappy. The process was long and slow, they kept changing interviewers because, they the ones I was supposed to interview was also interviewing for a different company.

Phone, in-person. It was pretty easy and informal, if you do your homework ahead of time, you will be good to go. I worked there for less than a year and the job was not difficult, but rather repetitive.

I applied in late October, and the whole process took about a month. A recruiter reached out the day after I applied to schedule a phone interview. I had the phone interview a few days later. I had a 2nd round phone interview with the hiring manager a few days after that. I quickly scheduled a 3rd round video interview for two days later, which consisted of 2 2-person panels and a 1:1. I had the final, in-person interview session a week later, which consisted of 7 1:1 interviews over the course of several hours. They also paid for lunch, where I got to talk to another employee, and covered my travel and lodging. All in all, it was a great day, highly efficient, and fun to talk to everyone. Everyone was prepared, having read my resume and prepared questions. I also enjoyed the variety of people/teams I got to talk to. They made an offer 3 days later, I did a little negotiating, but all in all it was an amazing offer and I was extremely excited to accept the offer!

2 phone interviews and 2 onsites. Process took 2 months before I was told they selected someone else. Although in the first onsite, they told me they hadn't interviewed anyone else. From the 2nd phone interview, I was told a decision would be made in 2-3 weeks. Then I was asked to do an on-site interview and was told the same thing. Then I was asked to do another interview. The first interview was 2 hours and the second was 2.5. I missed a full day of work but I felt that I was going to get an offer. They even showed me around the office and gave me a bag of goodies. All my interviews went well and they seemed impressed by the 10 page presentation I made showing why they should select me. I asked for feedback as to why I wasn't selected but never heard back. I feel duped and disappointed.

Entered the process through a referral. Spoke with a recruiter who said they were moving me on to the next step in the process. About a week later I received an email from the recruiter stating they had received feedback from the team and wanted to share. Turned out to be a rejection. I thanked them for calling to tell me, and asked if they could share the team's feedback, so I might be a better candidate in the future. They said they didn't have any. So the "feedback" was simply that they decided to pass. To Volusion: Can you see how that feedback isn't very helpful? While I appreciate that a phone call is a more personal way of letting rejected candidates down, I would suggest framing it in a context other than "feedback". True feedback is helpful and actionable. Simply telling someone they've been rejected without providing any insight into how they can improve isn't really feedback, it's just an update.
