      City Lead Interview

      Dec 19, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Dallas, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at General Assembly (Dallas, TX) in Sep 2016

      Interview

      There was a phone interview with HR and a follow up webcam interview with an additional employee there. After receiving positive feedback, in addition to follow-up emails saying they still had me in mind, I was completely "ghosted," even after sending further follow-up emails. This company is a complete scam, and as someone intimately involved in the Dallas startup scene for technology, I didn't have a choice but to recommend to my associations that we "blacklist" GA for expanding to this area. If they treat applicants, especially those who have basically already done their recruitment work for them, we cannot fathom how they will treat students in this area. This was an extremely disrespectful experience and a complete waste of time on both of our ends. I hate to see an unprofessional company like this moving into our startup area to simply take advantage of students, without providing them with any jobs or official credentials. Avoid at all costs. To those who have landed interviews, particularly within the DFW area: STAY AWAY from General Assembly. Their HR refused to even respond to multiple follow up emails (I'm sure their excuse would be "we're busy."). I have NEVER been so blatantly "ghosted" by a professional education firm, and have warned all my past students at A&M, Texas Tech, as well as those now within the UT system what a waste of time this firm is. I hope to see them leave the area soon, as they will undoubtedly treat their students with the same lack of respect as applicants. I've dealt with hundreds of HR reps over the last few years, and these were BY FAR the least professional. I want to personally thank GA for wasting all my time and effort. The assignment they gave me was NOT fun and I know see as a total scam to save them money. Again, AVOID GA. See interview questions for the work I wasted my time on.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      After the webcam interview, I was sent an assignment and given several days to work on it. It consisted of constructing a PowerPoint about what strategies would be used to generate more students.
