I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wilson Daniels (Napa, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Standard interview process with HR screening, in-person interview with the hiring manager and then finally interviews with stakeholders. Unfortunately I was unable to receive an offer because the interview process took too long before receiving an offer from another company. Wilson Daniels wanted me to do 5 rounds of interviews all the way up to the president before giving me offer. They couldn't get the last interview scheduled in time. I made it to round 4 which took over a month. I believe if they would have moved more efficiently I would have been offered the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me why you're interested in the wine industry.
Outdated questions as “what are your strengths and weaknesses?” Straight forward interview. Interviewer were polite and communicative. Although they didn’t seem to have prepared ahead of time for it . In person interview
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Wilson Daniels (New York, NY) in Dec 2018
Interview
Initial phone interview over the phone for 1 hour.
1st interview with MVP
2nd interview with creative team
Test
The entire interview process took about 1-2 months. Gaps of communication between each interview. Total hours from interviewing to the test at least 8 hours.
Test emailed a few days after last interview with 2 "test" projects. 1 project had brief with lots of sales data and few points on goals. 2 project was missing much needed information. Disliked because there is no creative direction or style provided. Time for projects are NOT compensated.
Days went by with no communication after submitting projects. Multiple follow ups with minimal response. Final email sent 2 weeks later.
Honestly think this company doesn't know what they want.
