First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at VaynerMedia.
Content Creator
The interview process was quick, smooth, and felt comfortable. It started with 2 phone calls, then moved to 2 Zoom interviews with the creative leads. The interviewers were great people, very personable, and they made sure to spend time getting to know me and see if the job was a good match for my current skill level.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- Can you tell me about your experience?
Strategist
The interview process was straightforward, clear, and transparent. Right from the first interview, they provided guidance on how to prepare for subsequent rounds, including the interview with the manager which focused on skills. They also offered support throughout the application process.
- Can you share your experience?
- What do you know about the platforms we use?
- Describe your approach to daily tasks.
Account Director
They initially said there would be three interview rounds, but it ended up being four pretty long calls, which I actually enjoyed. HR let me know I got the job a few days later, and I quit my current role to make sure everything went smoothly. But then, a few days after that, they pulled the offer, saying business needs had changed. It was a close call to being jobless because of this whole situation, but luckily I found something else pretty quickly. Overall, the whole thing lacked transparency and consistency. They claimed the role wasn't in demand anymore, but I've seen the same job posted on LinkedIn since. It's giving off some serious red flags about Vayner.
- Be prepared for very technical questions, focusing on campaign, media, and strategy rather than personality.
- Be ready with questions about campaigns.
- Be ready with questions about media.
Media Analyst
I applied for the Media Analyst Resident job and went to their assessment centre. They said they would reimburse travel costs, which they kept highlighting, but never did, even after I followed up multiple times. After putting in time, money, and effort to prepare and travel for the day, I was told I would hear back within a week. It's been way longer and they've completely ghosted me. No feedback, no updates, just silence. For a company that claims to be empathetic and have a human-centered culture, this was the total opposite. The atmosphere at the assessment centre felt forced. It seemed fake and superficial, with people trying to talk over each other instead of really working together. I went in feeling hopeful and left disappointed. VaynerMedia talks a lot about their values, but they don't actually live by them. Applicants deserve better than being used for free work, ghosted, and ignored.
- If you could be an animal, which one would you choose and why?
- Explain your choice of animal and how it represents you.
