      Senior Account Executive Interview

      9 Mar 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Merritt Group (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process itself was quick and easy. After an initial 30 minute phone call, I was invited for an onsite interview a week later. The building is in the middle of the FiDi and easy enough to find, as is their office, which they share with Cutline Communications. By chance or choice, the entire staff is women (pretty standard in marketing/PR, as opposed to some bro-start up where you would be hard pressed to find a woman). The interview itself was pretty average, though my two interviewers seemed more concerned with my approach to working with their team than my capabilities, achievements, and work done thus far. They were particularly concerned with my abilities to coach and mentor junior employees, almost to the point where that - and not client service - was the role's central function. In short order - and not surprisingly - I was told that they were moving on to other candidates, and after pushing for feedback I was told that I was not a "cultural fit". Frankly, it felt as if they were more interested in hiring a friend than a teammate.

      Senior Account Executive Interview

      23 Aug 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Washington, DC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Merritt Group (Washington, DC) in Jul 2017

      Interview

      Their recruiters called me twice for interviews. Both times I had all of the experience they needed for the accounts, and was told that the hiring managers really liked my background. Both times they said they would follow up and neither of them ever did. Because of that I would never take a job with them since it's unprofessional for recruiters to set up appointments and never follow up. Needless to say I found a great position at a competing PR firm doing similar tasks.

      Thank you for taking the time to review your recent experience with Merritt Group. We truly appreciate our employees, clients, and candidates who take the time to let us know about their experiences with us. You state in your review that you applied through a staffing agency but never heard back from their recruiters regarding the position after multiple interviews with us. I can assure you that the staffing agency that you were working with was notified of our decision on the position and I encourage you to follow-up with them directly as to why you did not hear back. When candidates are sent to us through staffing agencies, we generally do not receive personal contact information for the candidate as all communication must go through the staffing agency. I would be happy to speak with you if you have any questions on the outcome of your interview, and I would also be interested in knowing what staffing agency this was so that I can follow-up with them directly. Please feel free to contact me directly at hill@merrittgrp.com. Thank you again for your feedback, and best of luck in your future endeavors. Regards, Colleen Hill Director, Human Resources
