GeistM Marketing Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

I got contacted by the recruiter shortly after applying and we scheduled a call. The recruiter was nice, and said she'd be in touch the next week. I never heard back after that, so I followed up but got no response. It's a shame because the company seemed cool, but it's really disrespectful to just ghost a candidate like that.

So I interviewed with this company and I would absolutely not recommend them. To say they are unprofessional is an understatement. I had a successful first interview and received an email notifying me that I would be advancing to the next stage and speaking with a more senior staff member located in the New York office. I selected the time and date based on his availability and logged on a bit early with the provided link on the day of. After ten minutes, he had not shown up. I emailed the girl I had been corresponding with and asked her if anything had changed or if there was a need to reschedule, but received no reply. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, I logged back on and waited for ten more minutes. No one showed. I chalked it up to something coming up on their end, and reached out to inquire about rescheduling. I never heard back. Two days later, I received an email from the same coordinator I'd been emailing saying that I did not get the job. A bit confused, I replied asking if there had been a miscommunication because I had essentially been stood up by the director I was supposed to meet with. I did not so much as receive a courtesy email back letting me know the reason as to him being a no-show. Regardless of what the issue was, it was disrespectful, unprofessional, and quite frankly a waste of my time. If they operate like this in the interview stage, I'd say I dodged a pretty big bullet. There are many companies out there that can offer you what you're looking for – I'd avoid this one altogether. RUN from GeistM.

The interview process was pretty chill and straightforward. The interviewer knew what she was asking. They got back to me within a week about the outcome. The first round was the initial screening call, and the second round was with the SVP, if I'm not mistaken.
