I interviewed at DesignWorks Collective (Franklin, TN)
Interview
I had two in-person interviews before being asked to come work as an on-site freelancer. My first visit I met with one of the VPs, someone from HR, and with the Brand Manager for one of their brands at the time, though not the brand I was interviewing for. The second interview I met with the Brand Manager that I ended up working with and I believe I met with HR again. I brought my portfolio, was able to discuss things, and found all the questions to be very conversational.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to smell one of the Paddywax candles and see if I could identify what scent(s) it was!
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at DesignWorks Collective (Nashville, TN) in Oct 2021
Interview
Very very very long with no pay off. You will interview with anyone and everyone you might be working with. It is unclear who makes the decisions. Some of the interview questions did not seem relevant ie: what is your favorite color, what is your favorite smell?
One particular interview dragged on and on into two hours long which is hard to manage if you are still working full time. She did not seem prepared with questions and would ask super random things. When you have interviewed with 2 other people before this without a break it is impossible not be exhausted/not on your A game after speaking to people for 4 hours. process dragged out for 5 months.
