First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at ironSource.
Marketing Manager
Following an initial screening call, the interview process included an in-person meeting with HR, a phone conversation with a potential manager, a skills test, another interview with a different manager, a request for professional references, and concluded with a final call to extend an offer.
- Can you discuss your professional background?
- Could you elaborate on your past employment experiences?
- What specific knowledge and skills do you possess relevant to marketing management?
Data Analyst
The interview process was pretty standard and flowed well. It started with a quick phone chat about my background and how it fits the job. Then, I had to do an online assessment that checked my data analysis skills, which felt pretty relevant. After that, there was a video call with the hiring manager and someone from the team where we talked about technical stuff, some other questions, and how I handle data projects and problems. The last step was meeting the HR recruiter in person at their office. All in all, it was a clear process with good communication.
- Could you describe a project where you analyzed complicated data and presented your findings to people who aren't technical?
Operations Manager
I applied for an Operations Manager job at ironsorce and was sent a take-home test. It was multiple choice and I thought I'd get feedback fast but it's been over a week and still nothing. I'm really not happy with how Ironsource handled this. They didn't even give a contact person in the test email, making it hard to ask questions. Plus, no feedback on my results is super unprofessional and makes me wonder if they actually want good people. I wouldn't suggest applying to Ironsorce; their hiring process is messy and doesn't respect a candidate's time. I'd also think twice about working for a company that ignores candidate concerns. The test itself was badly made, with unclear questions and answer options that weren't distinct, making it tough to pick the right one. Overall, a really bad experience with Ironsorce, I can't recommend them.
- No interview was just a test
Product Manager
So I had 4 interviews in person. One interview involved giving a presentation of a take-home assignment I did, which took me several days of work. After the last interview, they told me I got the job and that an offer would be sent soon. A few days later, they called to say the offer would take a week because they were working on a BETTER offer. After a week with no news, I reached out about the contract, and they said they needed more time. A week after that, they called to say they were no longer hiring for the position. This was over 2 weeks AFTER I went through 4 interviews and spent a lot of hours on the assignment, and they had already told me I got accepted and the offer was coming. They really wasted my time when they said they were trying to give me the best offer possible.
- Can you tell me about your past roles?
- How would you build a product roadmap?
