I interviewed at Condé Nast (New York, NY) in Apr 2023
Interview
I don't care how big a name a company has, Conde Nast has been reposting the same Executive Assistant position since January (now April) stating that they will get back to candidates within 30 days. No they cannot get back to over 200 applicants but the fact that they keep reposting the role (and no changes) and raking in another 200 cover letters and resumes with much disregard is disgusting. Don't bother applying here and this is coming from an EA with their industry experience and over 10 years as an EA.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have 5-7+ years of administrative/office experience supporting a C-Suite executive?
3 stages with different people at different levels within the business. Final stage was with my boss. It was more like a chit chat rather than an intense interview. My second stage was pretty pointless and I could have easily skipped it.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Condé Nast in Jan 2025
Interview
Long, way too long. Had a total of 5 interviews, 2 in personal and then asked for references and then ghosted. I was completely left in the dark for weeks in between interviews. I wouldn’t have wanted to take a position with what seemed like a terrible work culture. I emailed both the hiring manager and recruiter about the position to no response and then looked on the candidate dashboard to see I was “No Longer In Consideration” which I already figured. Do better to communicate with prospective employees, I no longer have an interest in applying to any future openings with Condé Nast, this experience left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth.

Question 1
Go over experience, I mostly lead with questions as it seemed they didn’t know what they actually were looking for.
