  1. Marketing Manager Interview

    Anonymous Employee in Irvine, CA
    No Offer
    Negative Experience
    Average Interview
    Application

    I applied online. I interviewed at Essex Property Trust (Irvine, CA) in Feb 2023

    Interview

    20 min phone screen with recruiter then a zoom interview with a Manager about a week later. In the zoom interview I was getting asked mostly personal questions and not even questions related to my experience or the job role. Felt very unprofessional and a waste of time since it seems like I couldn't even showcase my skillset and the Interviewer was very monotone.
    Interview

    Why do you want to work in Orange County and not relocate? Why don't you want a consulting job instead? What streets are you located across?
