I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Scholastic in Dec 2017
Interview
The hiring manager reached out to me and then asked me to put an invite on her calendar with a Google Hangout link she sent me. I thought it was odd that she was asking me, a candidate, to do the scheduling, which is her job. Also thought it was bizarre to do a video conference for a first conversation.
I spoke with the woman, who seemed like she had never spoken with a product manager in her life. She asked me silly questions like "are you familiar with agile," and nothing else really of consequence. A senior engineer joined the video conference halfway through and, as I was telling a work-related story, interrupted me with a barrage of questions and attacked my objectively legitimate answers. I found him to be incredibly arrogant and condescending. The company was clearly not a good fit for me, nor I a fit for them.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Scholastic (Columbia, SC)
Interview
great product and book pubisher but interviews lacked specifics and people skills
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have any experience with diversity? Even though I had already answered this by my interview answers, my birthplace, entire work experience and my background
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Scholastic in July 2010
Interview
I was scheduled to meet with 4 different people in one morning and they each interviewed me separately. I would have preferred to meet with everyone in a group because I simply ended up repeating the same answers to each interviewer as everyone asked the same types of questions. Each of the interviewers was very nice and the overall experience was positive, but they were each from different departments leaving me with the impression that they didn't have a specific role they were looking to fill.
