First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Houston Astros.
Special Events Coordinator
The first step was a video interview. After that, I had a 2.5 hour interview session with four different departments and HR. It felt like a huge waste of time because I never spoke with the hiring manager. Instead, I talked to people who weren't relevant to the role. Then, I was ghosted for two months before getting a generic rejection email. They should really rethink their interview process. While it's good to meet different departments, talking to them before HR and the hiring manager is a waste of everyone's time. Some interviewers didn't even turn on their cameras, and the whole experience of getting ghosted after investing so much time felt rude.
- What personal detail would your colleagues be surprised to learn about you?
Business Strategy and Analytics
So, I had two phone chats, and then they had me do a quick research project using PowerPoint. The first call was with the Director of Business Strategy & Analytics. He went over my background and asked why I was interested in the business side of baseball. He also threw in a couple of technical questions about analyzing data. The second phone chat was with the VP of Marketing & Strategy, which was more laid-back and covered more general stuff. After those two interviews, I was given a project where I had to create a single PPT slide showing market research for a company.
- What motivates your interest in baseball?
- Can you share an example of a project involving data analysis?
- Could you walk me through your previous work experience?
Social Media Coordinator
The interview process kicked off with a HireVue round that took about 20-30 minutes and included five questions. Next, there was a social project where I had to write captions for Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, and create social plans. The final stage involved Zoom interviews, with six people from different departments, each interview lasting 30 minutes.
- Can you share a common misconception about yourself?
- What's one thing you've observed about our current social media presence that could be improved?
Business Strategy Intern
So first they looked at my resume, then I had a technical project, followed by an interview with an analyst, and finally a round with the VP. The project itself was pretty simple and the interviews were really basic. I had about 2 hours to code for the project and they just wanted to see a nice slide deck.
- Can you walk me through your thought process for the project?
- What's your reasoning behind choosing Astros?
- Could you introduce yourself?
