I thought they were friendly and the questions were good for probing my experience. I much prefer the ability to speak about successes, things that have worked, etc., vs. my favorite color, what kind of animal I'd be, etc. I loved their space and the way they explained their culture. I was very disappointed that I wasn't selected.

Question 1
Tell us about your biggest professional or personal success
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at HERO Marketing (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Fairly easy interview. Two of their staff interviewed me in their company office. They went over my resume point by point and asked me somewhat detailed questions about my experience. Both of my interviewers were friendly and affable.

Question 1
How do you deal with your tasks throughout the day?
I applied online. I interviewed at HERO Marketing (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Not a pleasant experience. I was told from the start that I would be asked a fair amount of questions for 45 minutes and would have time at the end for my questions. I was asked question after question as two individuals took notes. It was a very a robotic and uncomfortable process. Other interviews I've had so far have been very open and free-flowing. An example of a positive experience has been a group setting where everyone gave me their pain points and listened to my feedback. In this interview I felt that they cared more about the "process of an interview" rather than learning about how the individual truly works/ticks. Needless to say I was glad when it was over and left knowing I wouldn't want to work for this company. I think the right person for this position would be someone who is used to a strict management style/enviroment. Previous reviews posted were very accurate.

Very old school questions.
