Wunderman Interview Questions
& Process

After applying, I had a quick Zoom call with HR where they asked me general questions about the field I'm interested in. Following that, I had a technical interview with some software engineers where they mostly wanted to understand my knowledge and skill gaps.

This has been by far the worst interview process I've experienced in my 7+ years of career. First, I was interviewed for a Marketing Operations Manager role by the person in that role and their manager. It went well. Then, I had an interview with two junior marketing operations managers who couldn't answer basic questions about team management or their own career progression. A week later, HR contacted me about interviewing for a different position that might be a better fit. The third interview, initially set for two weeks later, was postponed on the day of because the manager was sick. They couldn't reschedule for the following week before the Easter holidays, so there was a month's gap between the second and third interviews. When I finally had the third interview, the manager was absent, and another marketing operations manager joined instead. HR and this manager asked similar questions to the previous interviews, but more focused on my career plans. It was surprising to learn that having ambitions to grow and take on more responsibility isn't well-received in their flat organization. They said they'd get back to me in a week. A week later, HR called to say they'd filled the Marketing Operations Manager position, which confused me as I thought I was interviewing for a different role. HR mentioned the other role was 'hypothetical' for a 'perfect match'. No feedback, just that. It was extremely unprofessional and a waste of time. Apparently, a former colleague with a senior profile had a similar experience, being rejected after multiple interviews due to perceived cultural fit uncertainty.

The interview experience and the way they treat prospective employees is abysmal. This was my interview experience: was referred by a friend for a senior role and met with the MD. Meeting went fine and he hooks me up with HR so I can have a chat with the incumbent as next steps. I have a chat with the current person, ask my questions, goes fine. Give MD an update that the chat went fine and to let me know what the next steps are. no response from him or HR. sent one more follow up mail after few days. no response. Exact same thing happened to a friend who interviewed with them. After two rounds, there was no reply or update given and my friend had to repeatedly follow up for weeks to get some vague answer from them. Terribly unprofessional senior management and HR. No respect for people’s time and clueless how to treat prospective employees. They need to understand that the industry is really small in Singapore and news spreads fast. I’m not surprised about the behaviour of HR because if the MD behaves this way, that’s the same culture that will permeate to the lower levels.

I applied online and got a call the next day from a recruiter for a 30 minute phone interview. Then, two days later, I was invited for an in-person interview. I thought I was totally qualified, but during the two-hour interview, the interviewer revealed the job was actually way more work than described and that they were trying to lowball the salary by at least $10k. She mostly talked about how overwhelmed she was, how much needed to be fixed, and trashed her employee and the recruiter. She even brought up a lawsuit about sexual harassment complaints that HR apparently didn't handle. By the end, I realized I barely got to talk about myself or how I could help. The next business day, I got an offer, but when I asked about benefits, she revealed it was a contract position with terrible medical insurance. She got passive-aggressive when I asked more questions, making me feel bullied. Honestly, it sounds like a mess, and I dodged a bullet.
