Red Ventures interview questions

My experiences were extremely similar to the first review already posted. My biggest problem with the entire event is that every person in the company seemed to be the type of people who were not exactly in the popular crowd when they were in high school and college and are now trying to relive their younger days. They all seemed more interested in how I would fit in around there with the Red Ventures culture and what kinds of things I would do after work hours with my coworkers than if I could actually do the job, which would explain why they have a sorority for grownups environment. The questions I received in the various stages of the "interviews" were more of what I would expect if I was pledging for a sorority than applying for a job. It came across as almost cult like with how they all had the same lines about "we work hard and we play hard" over and over. Most of the people I encountered were not only socially awkward types, but had the personality of a brick wall. I couldn't imagine having to work with those people on a daily basis. Even worse would be the expectation to spend time with them outside of work hours. Besides that, I just didn't really get the impression that the people I interacted with were all that particularly intelligent. They definitely come across as unimpressive in my interactions with them, not like how people of a similar job title and position would come across at another company. Maybe it is just because they are socially awkward and they are actually smarter than they came across, but then they shouldn't be in sales based jobs, should they? If you are more interested in hanging out with other employees outside of work in an adult sorority above actually doing any sort of work, then Red Ventures may just be the place for you. If you don't fall into that group, then Red Ventures is going to end up being a massive waste of time for anyone involved.

I was extremely disappointed in the interviewing process at Red Venture. It was very one sided and I was told several times that "they" chose the position for me assuming I fit the company culture. This made asking questions specific to the position I applied to very difficult. I was interviewed by individuals who worked in other parts of the company rather than the specific department I applied to and therefore had little knowledge of the area I was interested in. 80% of the interview was discussing the company culture and why it was "different". I didn't mind the focus on culture but at some point I would have liked to discuss the position. In addition, anyone applying should know that you will be asked to do word problem concerning conversation rates (without a calculator). It wasn’t hard (10,000 * 40% *20% * 40% * 2%) but it did catch me a little off guard. Last – I was told that in their mass interview on April 4th individuals were required to submit a joke when they arrived (on the spot). Unless someone can prove to me there is a direct correlation between submitting a funny joke and ones marketing performance .. I don’t see the relevance.
