Foundry Interview Questions
& Process

The interview experience was pretty straightforward. I showed up and spoke with two interviewers, who I suspect were attempting a good cop-bad cop strategy. One interviewer consistently conveyed annoyance at having to be there and at my responses. Both interviewers seemed unprepared. Despite one being pleasant, the overall process felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. My salary inquiry was met with an unprofessional sidestep. The entire interview lasted about 40 minutes, but ultimately felt unproductive. The connection just wasn't there, and it wasn't what I was seeking.

The interview process began with a phone screening where they asked a few questions about my CV and my motivation to join the company. They informed me immediately after the screening whether I would proceed to the face-to-face interview with two interviewers: a supervisor and a team leader. I personally did not enjoy the interview experience, finding it unprofessional and the work environment not to my liking.

They asked general questions about me, my achievements, and teamwork. They also asked what I did in certain situations, like when someone was testing me. They asked how I prepared for the interview and about my customer service experience. I did a role play of a mock call. They asked me to describe myself in 3 words and what I know about IDG and their work. Finally, they asked if I knew what I was going to be doing and how I felt about it.

I got a phone call from HR first to set up a phone interview for a couple of days later. They asked common questions like if I've worked on a team, to give an example of when my team beat goals, how I've hit my own goals, my reasons for wanting to work at IDG, and how I found out about them.
