Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your experience with communicating difficult news?
I applied online. I interviewed at Newell Brands in Apr 2025
Interview
It was a very straightforward process. Started with a call with HR. During this call, HR asked me my salary expectations, then told me that the position offers less and I might be overqualified. It was only 5k less than I stated, so I reiterated that I feel I'm qualified for this role and didn't apply to a more senior role for a reason. And that I am happy to accept that salary if the role is a good team and culture fit. I was then moved to the next round with the hiring manager. This was a very casual conversation. The final round was with a PM3 who works with this role. This was a more standard behavioral interview, but was done via phone call, which was strange.
After a few days, I received feedback that I am "overqualified" and no other feedback.

Question 1
Tell me about a project you led from conception to execution
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Newell Brands
Interview
Went to all rounds and got many compliments from all interviewers, and yet got ghosted for the position and there was never even an automated rejection email sent out when posting was taken down. I will say that some interviewers were clearly unprepared as some of them used to exact same questions that undoubtedly HR gave to them.
