I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY)
Interview
Had a phone screening with an HR recruiter. The HR woman seemed quite dismissive and was difficult to connect with. After applying to the general online application for next semester, I was emailed to set up the phone screening. The problem is, instead of being able to see job descriptions and apply to each network/channel/department separately, they try to go the opposite route and place you wherever they have an opening, whether or not it's what you would be a good fit for (it seems). It took about a week after applying to move forward. Not feeling moving forward for the Spring, but I'll apply or the Summer and be more specific about my preferences department-wise.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain your past intern experience in this department...
It was a very simple process. I applied in January and they reached out I believe at the end of February. I had a recruiter phone screening, then immediately had a 30-minute chat with my Manager. Overall it took about a month or so.
I applied for the program. After applying I received an interview update. I was interviewed with general questions before being taken to interview with the hiring manager. It was a pleasant experience
The interview process was very smooth and each of the interviewers I spoke to were friendly and encouraging. I had a great experience and would highly recommend applying for Paramount's internships.
