Merlin Entertainments Marketing Manager Interview Questions
& Process

Started with a recruiter call, then a hiring manager interview. Next was a face-to-face interview in London responding to a brief. Unfortunately, I was ghosted after the final interview. I tried reaching out to the recruiter multiple times for an update but got no response. It's disappointing to invest a weekend preparing slides and traveling to London only to receive no feedback, especially given the company's purported focus on people and customers. Others I've discussed this with are also quite surprised.

It was the best job interview experience I've ever had in my life. Although it is not yet known whether I am the desired candidate or not, I was treated with care by human resources, almost like a guest. The General Manager was both extremely professional, a great speaker, a good listener, and also a very humane person, I greatly appreciated his attitude and energy. He gave a sensory-rich explanation of the firm that made it seem as though I was living it. Then they hosted me at Legoland and Sea Life, where I was even more fascinated. I don't know what it is like to work for the Merlin Entertainments Turkey team, but it is a great chance to have an interview experience there.

Applied online, then had a phone interview and online tests. Followed by a 2-day assessment centre. I didn't hear anything for months after submitting my application. There was a week between the phone interview and the assessment centre. The two days were hard work! Lots of team building activities on day one, and more individual stuff on day two. There was also a dinner and drinks networking event.
