I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McGraw Hill (New York, NY) in Aug 2014
Interview
Got an email from HR asking to set up a time for a phone screening. Email confirmation sent. Day of she never called. I emailed asking if she wanted to reschedule about an hour later and didn't hear back until the next day. She was apologetic and offered an excuse (sounded like BS) and rescheduled for the next day. She called 15 minutes late for that one, but the call went well. Said she'd be in touch by end of week to schedule interview with hiring manager. Never heard back. I sent her an email a week later to followup about the call or in-person with the hiring manager and *crickets*. Emailed again the following week and still no response.
Whether she changed her mind or the hiring manager didn't want to meet or whatever, it's fine....just tell me something one way or the other to close the loop.
It's incredibly unprofessional and rude to not respond to a candidate at all after wasting hours of their time back and forth scheduling and rescheduling plus the time they spend on phone interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your salary expectations (because she asked within 5 minutes of getting on a call... usually they at least wait until the end to ask). She said I was in-line with what they had approved for the position, so we could continue with the call... I guess the pro with that is if you're outside of range you only waste 5 minutes on a call vs 30 or 45 minutes.
Good interview but was also felt like an intense environment. The people were very nice though, I could tell they had a solid company culture and I've heard good things from other friends who have worked there.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at McGraw Hill (New York, NY)
Interview
Seamless and well organized interview process. Be prepared to interview with a minimum of eight people including additional subsequent rounds as you progress to each new round. Communication to advance in the process could have been better.
qualified for the position but no respone. short telephone screening process. could barely hear the recruiter. the interview was short but was not very informative. i wish they gave any response or follow up, but they failed to do so.
