      Editorial Assistant Interview

      13 Dec 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sage

      Interview

      The interview process is fairly long. I was contacted by a recruiter about two weeks after submitting my application for a phone screen. Next, I had a video interview with the person who would be my direct supervisor. After one week, I was contacted again for a final in-person interview. The in person interview was 3 hours long. The first part of the interview was with the person I had my video interview with. After that, I was moved to another room where I was asked to complete a series of tests. I was given 30 minutes to complete an excel test, and a basic writing test to examine my written communication skills. After that, I was moved to another room where I had an interview with a series of people. The first two people were other managers on the team that I would be working with. Once that was over, two more people came in. They were people who had just got promoted from the position that I would be entering into, should I be offered the job. Once that was over, I was told I would be contacted by HR with a decision. I was contacted a week later by HR with an offer. I was told they had to complete a background check before I could be officially offered the job. That took another week. Once that was complete, I was sent an offer letter.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Sage (London, England)

      Interview

      Started with a recruiter call which went positively, got invited to a first round interview where they got me to do a task and then asked three competency-based questions. Wasn't invited for a second round, feel like the feedback given was unfair and not helpful for future applications.

      Application

      I interviewed at Sage

      Interview

      They offered no follow up and were disorganised - they never responded to my emails and didn't keep me updated. The interview itself was straightforward but I was disappointed in the lack of communication
