I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Sunspel (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
Very down to earth. There were no robotic questions or reading questions from a list. The interaction was authentic and very inspiring. I wasn't asked to share a time that I gave great customer. The questions were tailored to the role and more about how I would manage and grow the Sunspel business in LA.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sunspel (Nottingham, England) in Feb 2018
Interview
I went through 3-stage interview - all three were group interviews which lasted approx. 1 hour - 1 hour and a half. On the first interview I met two people who told me about the company and also asked questions about my experience, abilities and skills. On the second interview I met two people again, one of them turned out to be my manager I was going to work with directly. Again, I was asked similar questions, but this time I talked in more depth and provided more details about my responsibilities at work. This was the shortest interview out of all three. Last interview was with two people again - one of them was the CEO himself. This was the longest and the most stressful interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
While first two interviews were fairly pleasant and more focused on my experience, skills and abilities, the third one was stressful. The main reason was because it was directly with the CEO who was more focused on my reasons behind leaving my current job at the time . Our conversation or rather me explaining myself took the most time at this interview. I was left with an impression that I didn't get a job. A couple weeks later I was offered the job.
