      Vice President Corporate Communications Interview

      31 Jul 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at OpenText (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      I was profiled by a very nice recruiter from Canada, who had a basic job description but knew little about the position. Including how the company was planning on changing from a holding company to a new stack that would make them competitive and innovative. Good luck. The CMO is not a CMO from any perspective and is from the so-called enterprise group at Adobe. Adobe has had a long unsuccessful history of selling to the enterprise. There are really no marketing communications people in the US and that is also a big issue. I have been there before with another Canadian Company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The interview with the so-called CMO began awkwardly and without any pleasantries, its was almost as if he didn't want to do it. When I asked simple questions about their technology plans, his comment was, well those are product marketing questions and not appropriate for this interview. Humm we continued for another 15 minutes, and I felt like I was talking in another language, the language of enterprise computing that is. When he asked me how I would bring this new stack to market, I mentioned analyst groups, and the response was well analyst relations well that is owned by product marketing. I have brought many products to market including NetWeaver and know how to coordinate various teams in a large company. After 20 minutes I said I think this conversation is over and let's not waste any more time. He said in a condescending way, "well thank your sir for coming."

      Thank you for providing positive feedback on our Recruiter. We strive to offer a great candidate experience and many candidates feel the same way! It is very important to understand where our strengths and gaps are in our recruitment process so I am going to share your feedback with those involved. We should have been in a position to follow up on your product marketing question, even if not at the moment, and this is being addressed. For clarity, our CMO has been with OpenText since 2001 and has never worked for Adobe. Again, I thank you for your feedback. Director, Talent Acquisition | Americas
