      Manager Interview

      Jul 11, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Park City, UT
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Backcountry (Park City, UT) in Jun 2014

      Interview

      I applied online in March of 2014, and after a short screen with the recruiter, I was given a "planning test" via excel and then I was scheduled for a phone interview with the hiring manager. I then didn't hear anything for a couple of months, but received an email that there were some changes going on and to sit tight. Around 3 months after my initial application, I was contacted to fly out for a day of interviews. It was then that I found out there had been a recent round of layoffs and the hiring manager I originally spoke with was no longer at the company. The interviews were 1/2 a day and I met with about 9 different people. Everyone was extremely friendly and I was able to ask a lot of questions to get a feel for the company and culture.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What is your sport of choice? Not really unexpected or difficult, but they want to make sure you are a good fit culturally.

      Question 2

      Name a time that you disagreed with your manager. How did you handle it?

      Manager Interview

      Apr 17, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Salt Lake City, UT
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Backcountry (Salt Lake City, UT) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      Initial phone interview in December with the dept hiring manager followed by a subsequent interview with the CMO 2 weeks later.....then nothing for a MONTH. Then invited to Park City HQ to interview with 3 different dept heads, each of which were positive and highly favorable of my skills and experience. Then....nothing for 3 months, still waiting on atleast a letter, email or phone call to have some closure on this. Very unprofessional and shows how inept management likely is in all aspects of the business. Even if they did call now, I'd decline given the lack of communication and clear lack of regard for potential human resources.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      If you were the CMO, what are the 2 greatest areas for opportunity in digital marketing in the next 24 months.
      Answer question
