I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
Applied via the online portal and had a screening call about a week later, followed by an online recorded video interview process following that about a week later, and then a week later I had an in-person with each member of the team. I was then given a mock brief due in a week for a CBS product and was told to create a media plan and pitch deck around to gauge how my media planning skills was and how quickly I could turnaround a presentation. I was then invited back to meet the head of the team after submitting. I did not originally receive the offer, but after about a month, they messaged me saying their original choice did not end up working out and would like to move forward with me!

Question 1
Tell me a time where you've had to work with a client that had demands that were not feasible and beyond what the team/budget could achieve.
Great interview process! First round with talent recruiter and second with the team. Talent recruiter was communicative. Took about 4 weeks from applying to receiving my offer letter. Interview itself was mostly behavioral based and ensuring I can do the required tasks.

Question 1
My favorite paramount film and job specific software knowledge
Pretty straight forward, must know your stuff and be ready to actively switch topics. What shows are you watching? What is something you'd change about a script? How do you handle stress at work etc.
the interview process was fairly standard but you need to know that you need an inside referral to get past the recruiter AI screening and then everyone was very nice and the process traditional
