Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Ocean Spray.
Assistant Brand Manager
I applied online through my university's MBA job listings. My process consisted of a screener interview with HR (resume walkthrough, behavioral) then a phone interview with the brand manager. The phone interview was primarily behavioral and had a short market sizing case. I took three weeks before I heard that I wouldn't progress to the next round.
- Tell me about an innovative product you admire and explain your reasoning.
- Walk me through your resume and share a time you demonstrated X.
- What's your estimate for annual garden hose sales in the US?
Brand Manager
First there was a Video Interview, kinda like an HR phone screen. They sent a link, and I had a few days to complete the 10-minute video on my own time. It had about 6-8 standard questions. Then, I had a call with the hiring Manager.
- Can you introduce yourself?
- What makes you suitable for this position?
- What is your motivation for joining Ocean Spray?
Senior Brand Manager
I sent in my application via their website and then HR reached out. The HR manager scheduled a first interview with a manager on the team. After that, they set up a full day of interviews at their office with several brand managers from their team.
- Can you share an example of a brand you admire in the current market and explain your reasoning?
- What are some brands in the marketplace that you admire, and can you elaborate on why?
