I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Condé Nast (New York, NY)
Interview
I obtained interview through a temp agency, for which I had worked several contract positions. The recruiter arranged initial interview with a senior marketing executive. Three interviews resulted.The first, was a very brief meet and greet with the exec at CN office; I was asked to come back for longer comprehensive interview In a second interview, I was briefed on a new administrative position in a experimental "think tank" department involved in social media/tech/app development. Also, was asked about my role at prior contract position. The exec mostly was tight lipped about giving any more info about the position and specifics of what was being developed in regards to the "think tank", it was all very mysterious. I actually learned more about the CN famed cafeteria; the diversity of cafeteria food selections, apparently is one of the perks.The third appointment, I met "think tank" team and interviewed with two senior tech developers. FYI, showed up at last interview soaking wet, and a half-hour late, due to torrential rain and subway shut-down. That was a deal breaker-LOL, but we graciously proceed with interview as a formality. Was not too disappointed, my gut impression of CN culture was later confirmed by a consoling friend and ex-CN associate. This friend worked at CN for years as creative editor under a big shot, mentioned that no one ever moves up, only move to different departments; recalled long hrs and low pay resulting in creative exploitation by bigger fish.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Condé Nast (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview process involved a lot of back and forth. It felt very strained and uncomfortable. I prefer employers who are more respectful of potential employees. I did not appreciate being re-scheduled many times.

Question 1
Do you have experience as an administrative assistant
Informal, quick, not thorough enough, time wasting and inexperienced interviewer for role. Projected positivity with my responses and experiences yet offered contradictory and false feedback when rejected for further stages and hadn't clearly stated all of what the role would entail. Wouldn't recommend to anyone unless you physically fit their criteria.
