The Plato Group Interview Questions
& Process

It was a pretty casual interview with the managing director, Steven. He takes his time with each candidate because this company is always hiring. He'll go over your resume and answer any questions you have about the job or the company. For my second interview, he gave about an hour-long presentation about the company and its marketing strategies. After that, I answered a questionnaire about the presentation, and then had my second face-to-face interview with Steven.

The manager called me in and asked questions about my past experience and skills. I had to sit in a room with another applicant interviewing for the same position. They really oversold the position. It has a high turnover for a reason, as with most positions. Once I got the job, I realized why. You have a quota for interviews to set up for the next day, which means you end up calling people who didn't even apply but posted their resume on Zip Recruiter. You have to sell the position because no one wants to walk around, especially in this heat, to give away phones to those who qualify. The company doesn't care about their employees. It's not worth it, no matter how desperate you are for a job. RUN!

The interview process was a two-day event and honestly a total joke. Don't fall for this company's tactics like so many others have. The interview room was overcrowded, and after waiting for hours, the first interview began. It involved mediocre, typical interview questions that seemed purely for show. They then asked me to return for a second interview, presented as an opportunity to 'meet the team.' Upon returning for the second day, I again faced the packed waiting room (clearly, they're luring people from job boards with false promises, feeding misleading information to attract candidates. A red flag was when they contacted me about an application I never submitted). I was paired with an employee, dressed very casually in a tank top and mini skirt, and we went to 'a different site.' They escorted me to the metro and I was taken downtown. Once there, a table was set up in Brickell, and my task was to approach people on the street and ask them to donate to a charity or organization. This was the actual job, and I was subjected to this without prior knowledge. The second day lasted about 4 hours, and contrary to expectations, it didn't improve. Back at the office, they inquired about my experience and my potential for career advancement, including managing a team of street sales personnel. It was a complete waste of time. It's disheartening that people mislead others seeking good jobs and careers. They should be transparent about the interview process and the job itself, rather than making candidates waste valuable time on a two-day interview, enduring long waits, a misleading initial interview, street fundraising downtown, and incurring high parking costs. Honesty is crucial; stop deceiving people.

This was a really quick interview. They talked about the company and made sure I understood what they do. They asked me a few questions about my past or current job and why I'm looking to switch. It's best to do some research on the company beforehand.
