I applied online. I interviewed at Panasonic (Newark, NJ) in Mar 2017
Interview
After passing the phone screening I was scheduled to meet with two marketing managers. Each of the interviews was allotted 45 minutes, but ended up lasting over 1.5 hours. I had to submit writing samples from a variety of mediums (Social Media, Email, Whitepaper, Blog Post). Overall the interviews were very conversational and didn't have a great deal of talking about technical skills.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Panasonic in Sep 2020
Interview
HR phone interview was fine, moved to second round with the marketing manager and thats when I realized I didn't want the job. It was virtual, due to the pandemic, and I logged on early in the morning as it was at 9AM. I looked professional and had been studying for days. The manager came on, said she wouldn't be turning on her camera be sure she just rolled out of bed and the proceeded to eat during the interview which I could hear loud and clear and it was really distracting. The interview questions were mediocre and when I got to ask questions, I asked about work-life balance and she flat out responded that it was "hard" to achieve because management had expectations. I'm all for honesty in an interview but this employee seemed like she didn't care for the company or the job and couldn't care less about the interview. Glad I didn't move forward, but I definitely feel bad for whoever they hired!
