Bronx Zoo Interview Questions
& Process

The interview experience was great, which is saying something because I usually get nervous but I didn't feel that way at all. I'd give it a 10/10. It seems like a great place to work. Everyone there was really outgoing and easy to chat with, and the overall atmosphere was amazing.

I am just here to share my experience with this employer so other interviewees can benefit. After meeting with 12 different people and a 2-month interview process, I was offered a position on the marketing team. Once I was verbally offered the job, it took HR about 2-3 days to reach out to me to go over the offer, which wasn't a problem. But, when it came to me giving my acceptance, I was VERY pressured to accept on the spot. However, after some further conversation, I was given 24 hours to review - which was vital as I found 3+ mistakes in the offer letter I received. The next day, I asked HR for a new offer letter to fix the issues and to negotiate compensation (as you do with any new job). After a few hours, I was informed my updated offer was accepted. I was so happy! The new offer letter was sent, and once I received it, I asked for just the night to review (it was sent between 4-5pm) to ensure I had a chance to read it in-depth (since the last one was wrong). HR told me that was more than fine. At 7pm that same night, the hiring manager I was interviewing with sent me a passive-aggressive email saying how upset they were I didn't accept on the spot because "they got me the salary I wanted." I was also told that "enthusiasm is essential," implying that because I asked for some time before accepting a significant life change, it meant I didn't have any appreciation or enthusiasm (even though I interviewed for months). I explained that because of my current job, I wouldn't have a chance to review the letter in detail until after hours, again, to make sure it was correct and that I had no more questions before signing. I received no email back until the following day when HR told me my offer was taken off the table. When I asked multiple times (and people) why - I was not given an answer. Instead, I was told "this organization is an at-will employer," and they didn't need to provide me any further information. I spent months of my time talking to and learning about this organization, and I feel that I deserved a bit more respect than I received in the end.

The interview was easy. You go in as a group and do this math worksheet to make sure you can count money, then they take you into a separate room to speak to you one on one. A lady named Michelle interviewed me and she is super cool, but you end up being overworked.

It took about 2 weeks to get a callback after applying. When I arrived for the interview, I had to complete a quick assessment. Then, they asked me around 5 questions. I found out right then if I got the job.
