Mammoth Marketing Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process had three parts. First was a quick intro chat about the company and you. Then, we met at a Costco to go over job duties, customer interaction, and have a chat with a hiring person who asked a lot of questions about me as a person/worker and fun stuff like "If you could go anywhere in the world with one person, where would it be and with who?". Lastly, back at the office, we talked about what I learned from the Costco interview, what I liked/disliked, and any questions I had. They offered me the job and I had a day to decide. The company people were nice and professional and it seems like a company with potential. I turned down the offer because it seemed more sales-focused than marketing/advertising.

just to let everyone know i made this account just to write this review to warn people. it is a 3 stage process. 1st in an office that seems legit but then 2nd is in an "Executive office" aka grocery store lunch room with employees of the grocery store having their lunch break right next to us. makes it seem so exclusive but really is just a plan to make you want the job. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!! literally taking advantage of people. this is NOT a digital marketing company at all!! it is a SALES position undercover. such a scam i feel bad for the people who fell for it like me. seriously, do not waste your time unless you want to sell tires at a booth at a grocery store for minimum wage for 11 hour days. don't waste your time.

I applied online and got called back almost immediately for an initial interview that was two days later. The receptionist was on the phone with other applicants, clearly reading from a script. The interview was super short and mostly about traveling, not really about the job. They wanted to hire someone in the next week. They didn't answer my questions about a normal day or what 'event based marketing' actually means. The person I spoke to called herself the founder, but it seemed like a branch of a larger company where people move up until they open their own office elsewhere. I got a call 5 hours later for a second interview at one of their 'events' in a shopping center parking lot. I was told to dress business casual. When I got there, I was led into a grocery store to a table promoting a product. We sat nearby and talked. The interviewer was young but nice and had scripted answers. She explained my job would be to stand at the table and approach people about the product. We also talked about pay and training. She had me watch her and take notes on her approach. This round went well, and the interviewer was nice. I was asked for a final interview to ask more questions, and they said they'd give me the offer then. I told them I wasn't interested because I wanted something related to my studies, though I was impressed by their marketing stats. Honestly, I couldn't see myself wasting my degree selling promotional items in a grocery store for just over minimum wage. The people were nice, but they were never clear about the job until I was already in the second round.

There were three interviews on separate days, with a callback after each. The first was a quick 15-minute preliminary call, surprisingly with many other candidates. Simple questions were asked, and the company's partnerships with Costco, King Soopers, and Sam's Club were mentioned. The second interview was described as an 'event' to see the actual work, which sounded interesting. I showed up at a Costco and met someone selling pillows at a booth. I was asked to observe her behavior and take notes, then we discussed them. She gave me sales tips and then explained the pay, which was concerning. She mentioned I wouldn't be buying a Ferrari but could pay my bills with an hourly rate of $9.30, with commission as an option. However, they work six days a week for 9-10 hours, making the hourly rate difficult to beat. It felt quite degrading, sitting in a Costco food court in business attire while people were eating. I got a callback for the third interview where the pay structure was reviewed on paper. She mentioned a lot of growth potential if you remain humble. I was offered the job but declined, feeling it was a waste of time. My college retail experience offered a better hourly base plus commission, and I can't accept less. I went to college to move beyond retail, so this job would have been a step backward. I'd rather work in a mall store than a Costco booth.
