I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Publicis Sapient (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2009
Interview
Was contacted by Sapient recruiter re: a project manager position.
Interesting company:
- good values
- very client focussed
- successful and an good business model
Interview setup was a bit disjointed and interviewer was late (had to call him)
Good behavioral interview by a very professional client manager.
Given their tight business model, they are and remain price sensitive
and will naturally hire younger candidates (nothing wrong with that).
My recommendation:
- check their salary ranges first
- price yourself within their target range in the online application they will ask you to
fill in before the interview
- then have your interview
The ONLY goal of an interview is to keep the decision yours - not theirs.
