Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Spin Master.
Senior Designer
First, there was an HR call where they asked about my background, skills based on the job description, career aspirations, and salary expectations. Then, I had a mid-management interview where we reviewed my process design, focusing on my experience in toys and design, and did a portfolio review of my past projects. This was followed by a take-home assignment. Finally, there was a senior management interview.
- Tell me about your experience designing toys.
- Can you describe your experience with overseeing manufacturing in China?
Designer
Went through a lot of rounds of interviews. The hiring manager was really nice and the recruiting team was quick to respond. It would have been cool to know who I was meeting with and for what role beforehand, since it seemed like I was being considered for a few different teams, but it wasn't clear going in.
- Can you tell me about your experience and any products you've worked on?
- Describe your process for solving a problem you've encountered before.
- What's a pet peeve of yours?
Designer
I had three interviews with Spinmaster. It was an unpleasant experience because before I even started my final interview, the interviewer said they might not be able to hire new people due to the economic crisis and that they needed company approval. I didn't understand why they scheduled an interview with me if they hadn't even gotten company approval to hire new employees. It felt like a waste of time for everyone involved.
- What is your work speed?
