      Marketing Interview

      8 Feb 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House in Feb 2021

      Interview

      They asked a few questions I has already answered twice in the application, which I though was fine because we went through them quite quickly. But then they asked if I would need visa sponsorship in the future, to which I replied I would. They automatically told me that this company would not ever be able to hire me unless my status changed. I understand the position but I had already answered this question twice before the interview and it just made me feel like they did not even read my application all the way through before contacting me.

      Question 1

      Will you need Visa sponsorship now or in the future?

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House

      Interview

      Two video interviews and one in person. Video ones were awkward but worked out in the end. Took to long to hear back and didn't get any feedback, that wasn't fun. Felt very corporate.
