      SEO Specialist Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Merkle (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jan 2017

      Interview

      I first met with a recruiter at my school's career fair in September of 2016. A week later, I was contacted by a recruiter to set up a phone interview for the SEM position. A few weeks later, I attended a shadow day at their office through my university, and realized I like the SEO aspect better. Weeks passed, and I heard nothing from the recruiter. Finally, around November, I contacted asking about next steps, and she informed me that it would be a month or so until any further decisions could be made. In January of 2017, I received an email saying that they wanted me to come into the office for a two-hour long interview with four team members. That Friday I had a great interview with four managers, and I thought it had gone well. I expected to hear something within the next week or so, and the recruiter reached out explaining that they were still in the interviewing process. A month or so went by, and I reached out about the hiring process. After sending one last email in April, I gave up on any hope with the company. Although the recruiter always answered my emails in a timely and professional manner (which I very much appreciated), she would always tell me that they were still hiring or hoping to make a decision soon. Long story short, I would have rather just been denied, rather then been given the run around.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Merkle

      Interview

      Easy going, not too stressful. Overall, as long as you go over the basic behavior questions, you are good to go for the first round. The second, third is harder because it has a take home presentation to do.
