Goodby, Silverstein & Partners Interview Questions
& Process

I applied to this role via an employee referral. About two weeks later, a recruiter reached out via email. The recruiter's email responses were slow, with many coming late at night. I was sent a questionnaire which I finished within 24 hours. A week and a half after that, a different recruiter contacted me to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was unusual, as most of the time was spent giving me interview advice instead of discussing my skills and experience. I followed up by email and was asked to complete the same questionnaire again. When I told the recruiter I had already done it, there was no communication for another week and a half. Then, a third person contacted me for a "preliminary phone interview." At this point, I was unimpressed with their recruiting process and decided to withdraw my application.

The company had a really laid-back vibe, with a casual dress code and even allowing pets in the office, which was pretty neat. The actual interviews were pretty standard. I met with two people, and each interview lasted about 25-30 minutes. I was asked about my interest in marketing, past marketing projects, and my knowledge of the company. What was disappointing, though, was what happened after. I was told about a follow-up group interview, but when I tried to follow up on my status, I didn't hear back for weeks. Eventually, I found out I didn't get the job through word-of-mouth, which felt unprofessional.

I applied online and got an email from HR to do a questionnaire to see if I would "fit with the company culture." I sent it in and saw the HR Generalist viewed my LinkedIn. I emailed them asking about my application status, but they ghosted me. I realized I had no chance of moving forward since the whole team was white male & women and I did not "fit" that image or the culture at all. They think making things "diverse" is bringing in a new dog breed.

I found the interview process to be pretty easy and straightforward. There were four interviews in total before they extended an offer. I got through two video interviews, but then they decided to go with someone else. The first interview was with the recruiting lead, who was super helpful and really went out of their way to answer my questions and keep me in the loop.
