      Associate Vice President Interview

      29 July 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Irvine, CA
      No offer
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Symphony (Irvine, CA)

      Interview

      Long and unorganized. Ridiculously huge panel interviews with the whole department that had no direction.The whole process was very slow and there wasn’t much communication throughout. The department seemed aimless, wanting to hire someone with a magic wand to come fix everything.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you balance a full fundraising portfolio and managing the daily operations of the department? (Aka how would you cope with completely unreasonable expectations)
      Answer question
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Symphony (Irvine, CA) in May 2018

      Interview

      Was referred through LinkedIn to submit a resume and cover letter. Had an informal meeting with VP followed by a 6 people panel interview the very next day. The panel interview was over 2 hours long. A week later I was scheduled for a 1:1 meeting with the COO and separate meeting with the President a couple of days later. After the meeting with the COO, the process was interrupted abruptly via email that was sent on Sunday. No feedback was proved either in writing or in person with reasonable explanation. The manner in which the process was handled was very unprofessional.
