Performics Interview Questions
& Process

There was an aptitude test with about 60 questions. Then a 1-hour technical interview with the senior business manager. Finally, a 1-hour interview with the associate director.

Initially I assumed I wouldn't be able to crack any steps of the interview. There were three rounds, the first one indulged in checking your overall aptitude proficiency. I performed good in the Logical series but the Quantitative series had made it a bit difficult for me as I have always been more into Subjective dimensions and Non-Mathematical domain. Nonetheless, I somehow managed to proceed ahead with the test by cracking the first round. The further interviews were marked by an HR Round and a Technical Round. In the HR round, questions mostly pertaining to self and personality were asked and in the technical round, questions pertaining to Content Writing, Content Strategy, Skills in Proofreading and Editing and basic SEO questions were asked.

They might not seem satisfied with your answers, but just be yourself and keep answering, no matter what. Use diplomacy and a respectful attitude in your statements. Be prepared for any client-related questions. Adopt a no-game-up attitude, like laughing if you don't know but still try to answer. Expect a 50-50 split of behavioral and functional questions for Performics.

This was honestly the worst interview process I've ever gone through. It took ages, like over 6 weeks, which is just crazy. If you're trying to make a candidate lose interest, this is how you do it. The worst part was in the final interview, they told me the role was open because the last person left due to no growth opportunities. I applied on LinkedIn and messaged the poster, and they called me right away for a phone interview. But after that, it all went downhill. I had this 4-hour interview at their Santa Monica office, and the moment I walked in, I got a bad feeling. The office was a mess, people looked miserable, and the whole vibe was just super depressing for an advertising agency. I work with Publicis now, which is why I even applied, but I'm so glad I got an offer elsewhere. The recruiter was nice, but dragging this out for over 6 weeks is not okay. I get that the hiring team needs to decide, but as a recruiter, you should be rushing to fill the spot. Honestly, I wish I could get those PTO hours back that I used for this. Just save yourself the trouble unless you plan on leaving after a year.
