First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Porter Novelli.
Account Supervisor
The company was really responsive: I sent in my resume and cover letter and they got back to me in under two days. Everyone I talked to was clearly prepared, having read my resume, and they were super friendly. They were happy to chat about strategy, clients, and the agency in general.
- Can you walk me through a client program or initiative you're particularly proud of, detailing the objectives, strategies, and outcome?
- Tell me about a client program or project that didn't turn out as planned. What do you think went wrong, and what would have needed to happen to make it successful?
Account Supervisor
It was a pretty standard interview process. First, I had a phone screen with HR. Then, I went through two more rounds of interviews with three people. One of them was my future manager, and the other two were more senior than me.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- What is your interest in Porter Novelli?
- How do you keep yourself organized?
Account Supervisor
It was a 3-4 week process. First, I had a phone screen with recruiter Steven, but he was unresponsive and rescheduled multiple times. Then there were standard virtual interviews with the team I'd be working with. They rescheduled and then canceled on me.
- Tell me about how you manage competing priorities.
- Can you describe your past experience with managing competing priorities?
