Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you apply for the BASTA fellowship?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Wonderful first interview with the hiring consultant. From there, they asked for a 3 hour work simulation. Though I don’t understand the “new way” of hiring in terms of excessive interviews and requiring projects, and I feel a bit uncomfortable with a company’s ability to take your ideas without compensation, I did have fun with the 3 hour simulation project. It’s just something to be aware of for professionals and creatives who apply to this company so they know what to expect.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BASTA (New York, NY) in Sep 2019
Interview
Multiple rounds, an exercise and follow up interviews. Questions were in some cases un necessarily intimidating. Take home exercise was also lengthy. There were multiple rounds with different interviewers and even a demo.
