First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at VaynerMedia.
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.

Media Analyst
After applying a month prior, I got an email with a scheduling link. I picked a few timeslots and got confirmed. The interviewer was nice and brought up the hybrid working situation right away. They mentioned working 4 days in the office and 1 day at home, with the home day being flexible. This was a bit much for me, so we ended the interview early, which was honest of us. I later noticed the 4-day office requirement was buried at the very bottom of the job description, not in the main part. Overall, the process seemed easy, and the interviewer was great, but I do wish that dealbreaker had been clearer from the start.
- Would you be okay with a 4-day in-office work week?
Media Analyst
We started with a recruiter call to discuss my background. Then, there was a media buying assessment that I had 2-3 days to complete. Finally, I interviewed with two team members. It was a pretty standard interview process, focusing on my interests in the company and how I collaborate with others.
- What's your approach to optimizing media buys?
