Geller & Company Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process involved 3 rounds: first, I met with HR, then the team managers, and finally, the leaders. Two interviews were on Zoom, and one was in-person. The questions were straightforward and work-related. I passed the final interview, but then they informed me the team was relocating to another state. I've seen their ads elsewhere since then.

The interview process included video interviews over a 3-hour period with 6 team leaders, with each interview lasting 30 minutes. These were separate interviews, which gave me a chance to see the differences between teams and where I might fit in best. The questions asked were mostly behavioral, like 'tell me about a time you led,' and personal questions such as 'why did you go to the school you went to?' and 'what experience do you have that would make you a good fit?'. My advice is to have plenty of questions ready to fill the time with conversation, and you can reuse many of them with different interviewers to gauge your interest in each team. After the interviews, the HR head asked me to rank the teams to help match me with a specific one. I was fortunate to be offered a position with my first choice and am looking forward to starting this summer.

I interviewed for a receptionist role. The first round had me meet with two women, one from HR and the other who managed the reception team. They asked general questions, and I felt good about it. Then, I was invited for a second interview to meet three women. One was an Executive Assistant to the CFO, and I also met her assistant. Finally, I was supposed to meet the head of HR (they called it Human Capital), but it took about 45 minutes for her to become available due to her busy schedule. Although the overall experience was positive, I didn't get the job because they chose someone with more experience.

The interview process was pretty clear and easy to set up, and everyone was nice. I actually applied for a lower-level job, but they wanted me to interview for a more senior role as an Executive Assistant to one of their partners. The company is definitely lively and fast-paced. However, after both interviews, they told me they were worried I would expect too much from the role. I'm not sure what that means, but a quick search suggests they think I might get bored easily. Neither I nor my recruiter understand why they got that impression, but it seems like if you get an interview, you might need to hold back on how much responsibility you want. Being enthusiastic and wanting to learn seems to be viewed negatively here. I made it to the final interview for both positions I applied for at Geller.
