COMSOL Marketing Interview Questions
& Process

I got an email saying my application was selected and the interview would be on a specific day and time. I couldn't change it. When I got there, there were about 25 candidates, all with different backgrounds. First, there was a general presentation of the company with the leaders and the current marketing assistant. Then, a 10-minute individual interview (a bit short to really convince and sell myself properly, in my opinion). Finally, a small exercise where I had to write a cover letter. Honestly, I didn't really get the point of the exercise. Were they expecting an original cover letter or just checking my French level? In short, lots of competition, not much time for candidates. I think I would have preferred them to reduce the number of candidates and extend the individual interview to 20/30 minutes?! On the other hand, the two leaders and the marketing assistant are very nice, and they try to make us feel as comfortable as possible. The company atmosphere seems excellent.

I had a couple of interviews with two marketing managers. The first manager asked me about my previous job and gave me a lot of details about the role and company. However, the interview felt a bit rushed because it was late in the day. Also, when I asked why the position was open, she said the previous person wasn't really qualified and just 'fell into' the job, which made me question their hiring process. On a positive note, she did say I seemed qualified and could get up to speed quickly, as they needed to fill the role fast. The second marketing manager I met was very friendly. The questions were pretty standard, like asking why I'm a good fit for the role and about my strengths and weaknesses. I didn't end up hearing back from them.

The interview process for the marketing role wasn't overly complex. It started with my Manager, who then assigned me some tasks. Following that, I had a final interview round.
