Application
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Economist Group (New York, NY) in Aug 2016
Interview
Started with a phone interview, with simple screening questions, and then moved to an in person interview, following a case assignment, and then a skype interview. The interviewer was very polite, and friendly, but they never responded back with following steps, and did not answer the questions at the end very well
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is one quality that you possess that will be beneficial for The Economist Group?
I had a phone screen with an older gentleman in Human Resources. It was horrible - he was disrespectful (dare I say sexist), constantly interrupted me and quite frankly I felt belittled the entire time. I regret not cutting the interview short because I felt so uncomfortable. I sent a follow up to his colleagues about my negative experience and never heard anything back which was disappointing. I've worked at large media companies in the past and never have I experienced a recruiter like this. Hopefully he is just a bad egg because someone like that can really affect their employer brand. Definitely not a culture fit for me if someone like this person can work there.
