Peak Enterprises Marketing Coordinator Interview Questions
& Process

Hiring has a lot of red flags. They recruit online and call you right away. First is a phone interview where they don't really tell you what the job is about, seems like they just want people in the office. They ask about your management style, technical skills, and even how you get around. They probably use this to see if you'd fit their sales team, which needs people who are always out meeting clients. If you want an office job, this isn't it, and they'll only tell you at the in-person interview. For the in-person interview, expect more red flags. You'll see tons of other candidates filling out forms. They probably haven't looked at your resume until just before. They're good at hiring for sales/commission jobs though. The interviewer might try to throw you off. They do confrontational things like group interviews where you're competing against others. If you pass, you'll have another in-work interview, which takes about 2 weeks total. This means showing up (dressed up, bring a change of clothes) and doing free work for them at an event, like going door-to-door, handing out coupons, or tabling. Long story short: trust your gut and the Glassdoor reviews. I turned down the offer for a better job, but if it feels sketchy, run away. Too many suits. You'll find better elsewhere.

The interview process was pretty standard for companies I've interviewed with. It started with an initial interview, and then I was invited back for a second and third interview. I was mostly impressed with the second interview at Peak. The account manager really took the time to answer all of my questions. He explained that they are looking for a long term fit so the more information I had the better it was for both of us to make an informed decision. Which made sense to me. I have been on a lot of interviews in the Atlanta area over the last month and I have found a lot of companies really try and hide what they do or who they are, I did not get that impression from Peak. The interview was open, they explained everything I needed, and the staff was friendly.

The interview process had three rounds. The first round was a preliminary call to get a sense of my personality and see if I could carry a conversation. They also described the job. However, the job description in the interview was very different from what was advertised on their site and LinkedIn. The actual role was a door-to-door sales job, selling cable service upgrades. While not a bad job, it wasn't what I applied for. I felt blindsided and wished they had been more transparent upfront, though they did mention it could be a temporary role before moving into a different position.
