Million Dollar Baby Co. Interview Questions
& Process

A recruiter reached out to me for a phone interview. The questions were pretty standard and direct, but the call felt really rushed. I barely got to ask my questions at the end and had to ask if I could email them later, which was a bit awkward. I heard back five days later saying they were going with other candidates who were a better fit. It's weird because the job is still posted and seems to have been reposted a few times since. It felt like the whole process could have been more organized and communicative.

I went through a pre-recorded interview, a Zoom interview, and then an in-person interview. I felt like they were really into me as a candidate and asked some really insightful questions. It was quite strange that I had to do a presentation for what seemed like a mid- to entry-level role. The presentation was about improvements or process changes I had made in my previous position. They also mentioned I'd know about an offer and get feedback within a week. I followed up after 9 days and heard back 2 days later that they went with someone else, even though the job is still posted 2 months later. Good luck, I guess.

The whole interview process took three rounds. First, a recruiter phone screen where the interviewer was warm and personable, helpful, and described the process well. Typical get-to-know-you questions were asked, like 'walk me through your resume' and 'why applying for this position'. Second, an interview with Hiring Managers, which was super odd. I wish that the interviewers would have talked about an agenda when greeting me on the call. Instead, it was awkward pacing with no transitions. Honestly, it was so painfully awkward I did not anticipate moving to the next round. Also, one of the interviewers had a heavy accent and was difficult to understand. Third, an onsite interview with the CEO, HM, and another person. For this one, the recruiter provided a list of questions that the CEO would definitely be asking (he did not). One of the last points was to provide a visual aid for a project or workflow improvement. Now imagine being under NDA at your current gig and not really being able to provide that. No worries, I prepared a theoretical presentation that walked them through my workflow improvement that I was most proud of. Sure, it took me 10+ hours to work on the presentation and practice. Yippie, the CEO said 'good job' under his breath once I finished. Also, when asked about why I want to leave my current company, I expressed that there's been a morale shift due to the recent layoffs and there aren't as many growth opportunities, to which the CEO replied, 'what, so you're afraid of getting fired?'. Ultimately, I felt as though I did well during the last round and answered questions with grace and from a knowledgeable production perspective, but at the end of that, I wouldn't have wanted to work there. I got the typical rejection email about a week later.

Got an interview the day after I applied. The HR person was super helpful with any questions I had! The first interview was a phone chat with basic questions about me. After that, I had to do an Excel assessment. Once I sent it in, HR contacted me for a second interview. This one was tougher, with four people on the interview panel. They mostly asked about my skills and a bit about my work ethic. It felt more intense, but everyone was nice and listened well. I think there's another interview after this one, but I didn't make it to the third round. Definitely do your homework on the company before you interview!
