Spectrum Brands Marketing Interview Questions
& Process

A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and scheduled a call. Then, I had my first interview with the hiring manager, which went really well. Later that day, they scheduled another interview for the next week. The third interview also went well, leading me to what I thought was the final round: three 30-minute interviews back-to-back, though they ended up running longer. The first interviewer was late and seemed unprepared, not knowing my resume or the position. The next two interviews were good. A few days later, I had one last, intense 45-minute interview and was told I'd hear back soon. However, days turned into weeks. I reached out to everyone I interviewed with, including the recruiter, but got no response. A month after the silence, they relisted the job. It felt like a huge waste of time and effort for a role they initially wanted me to apply for.

The first interview was a presentation day. We started with ice breakers, then did some group work. It involved two tasks on how we'd market a product. The second call back was a 30-minute presentation. We had about six days to prepare, and it was more relaxed than I thought it would be, feeling more like a conversation.

I found Spectrum Brands at my university's career fair. I had a phone interview the following week or two. Then I did an in-person interview the next week with two marketing managers, and HR got back to me the week after.
