Marketing Architects Marketing Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

This was a 3 part interview. First was a 1-on-1 to get to know me. I was told I'd be moving on. Second, a 2-1 interview with technical and background questions. Again, I was told I'd be moving on. Third, I had to make a powerpoint presentation based on a marketing sample they gave me. I didn't get the job because I didn't have enough TV marketing industry experience. They also had me take some personality tests, which I thought were useless. The interviewers were cool though and gave good feedback.

It started out with a phone interview that felt comfortable and went well. Then I was offered an in-person interview. It started out fine, tour of the office, small talk/tell me about yourself. I was interviewed by 2 people who played good cop/bad cop. That’s where things went down hill and it went down hill fast. The dude was super intense and condescending. The gal was nice. The guy was playing hardball and asked me to solve math riddles off the top of my head. No way to read the problems, he just read them aloud. They were also timed and they never told me the correct answers, some were easy and some were hard so I thought, “Is this a trick question?” The whole vibe felt like I was guilty until proven innocent. I felt like Ashton Kutcher was going to come out at any moment and say, “These are hidden cameras, these are actors, and you’re on MTV’s Punk’d!” Unfortunately, it was a sad reality, and I left feeling like I wouldn’t want to work for someone like that. I received an email the next morning titled “thanks for the talk.”

I went through a multi-step interview process that included doing a sample analysis and giving a presentation. Through the multiple interviews, I met several employees and got a feel for the remote office culture. Everyone was really kind and professional during all interactions.
