      Assistant Editor Interview

      15 Jan 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mumbai
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Informist Media (Mumbai) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      The interview was set up by the HR but the CEO was late. The CEO also did not provide any chance for me to speak on my skills or experience. Instead the CEO just spoke on what his views were on journalism, today’s generation, work ethic and then shifted to playing down my 2 decades plus of experience. The intent seemed to be to gaslight me and make me accept a low ball offer. I wasn’t prepared for this onslaught so any other interviewees would do well to first ensure they get to speak and ask questions before the CEO/Editor starts his monologue. I have 2 decades plus of experience but was informed, that I know nothing. That I will have to unlearn and relearn all the wrong things I have learnt over 2 decades under his 'visionary leadership', so we can fix journalism in India. I was ironically offered a job, but couldn't imagine working with such a toxic man.

      Why do you think you are qualified to work with us at such a high salary when your tests show you are not as skilled as your experience suggests?
