Hogarth Worldwide Project Manager Interview Questions
& Process

I went through two interviews, one with the hiring managers and another with the clients. I felt I connected well with the clients and they seemed keen to collaborate. I reached out to the recruiter after a few weeks but didn't hear back. Then, the hiring manager called me, saying they were just waiting for final contract signatures (what a surprise!) even though they hadn't actually made an offer. After speaking with the hiring manager, I didn't get any more communication from them.

The interview process was pretty simple overall. First, I had a quick phone call with a recruiter, followed by a 30-minute chat with the team manager. The manager was super nice, polite, and helpful in explaining the job. Honestly, if the interview had ended there, I would've felt much better about the whole experience. It was the final interview with the rest of the team that kind of soured things. The last stage was a group interview with all 8 members of the print team. Because of quarantine, it was done over video chat with everyone on the call. If this had been my absolute dream job, I might have even reconsidered after how the interviewers came across. Each person seemed really unenthusiastic about being there. Nobody said anything like 'Thanks for your time!' or 'Let me tell you about our team...' Instead, they just jumped straight into questions, and they all seemed really tired and like they didn't want to be there. I think maybe one person introduced themselves, but I had no clue who the other 7 people were. From the actual interview, I didn't really learn much more about the role. Pretty much every answer, almost ridiculously, was 'It just depends. Things are always changing.' I asked about how work was divided, the busiest times of year, and the training process, and almost every time got the same 'It just depends' answer. Because it was a group format, there were several awkward silences where I wasn't sure if I should ask a question or if someone else was supposed to. All throughout this, there was just this really cold and unfriendly vibe, like nobody really wanted to be there or liked their jobs. I didn't end up getting the job, but honestly, based on that experience, I can't really complain. If the team had been more like the manager I spoke with initially, I wouldn't have any negative feedback. But I can't say my experience with the immediate team was positive or memorable.

El proceso fue sencillo y rápido, muy cordial y apropiado para el puesto. No es excesivamente técnico, así que es un buen lugar para empezar tu carrera y aprender. El ambiente de trabajo es bueno y se aprende mucho de los compañeros.
