      Digital Rights and Media Interview

      5 Mar 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Burlington, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Ascend Learning (Burlington, MA) in Feb 2014

      Interview

      Lengthy and drawn out (5+ weeks) given the nature of the position. J&B tried hard to make it sound more difficult than it was. The entire process came off as unorganized and unprofessional at the HR level. Follow up was made at every stage - HR phone, Phone I, Ref & Background check, In-person. I was never once replied to from the HR rep who made the initial contact although told numerous times that was my point of contact for updates and questions.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      The usual: How do you handle a fast paced environment? Have you ever missed a deadline? explain? What's a time when you failed? etc.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Although I wasn't interviewing for IT at all, I was placed in front of the head of IT initiatives who asked a bunch of tech questions I wasn't prepared for. Reason being, the HR rep, my second stop on the in-person interview, was out of the office that day. This was told to me as the first in-person discussion was ending. I am technically competent whoever was not interviewing for a tech position so I was scrambling to answer these questions a bit. The feeling at the end was that my answers didn't matter anyway. Time was just being filled until the next in-person appointment could be met.
