      Account Executive Interview

      Jun 2, 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Birmingham, AL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Hearst (Birmingham, AL)

      Interview

      Met with LSM, and then full management team. Very thorough, professional, and pleasant. Took about two weeks all in before I received a verbal offer. From there, there was a background check, then a formal offer came via email.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They wanted to be sure that I was up to the challenge of constant learning. Their digital portfolio is robust, so the landscape changes frequently.
