I applied online. I interviewed at Paramount in Feb 2021
Interview
Scheduled the interview, the coordinator messaged me 5 minutes into the original scheduled time to push the meeting back 2 hrs. I didn't mind, this meant I could study more for the interview. Again, 5 minutes into the new scheduled interview time, another message saying they will be late. They arrived 30 minutes late to our rescheduled interview, asked me one question, then ended the interview. Initially when they reached out for an interview, I was ecstatic to even be considered for the role ( given the year we've had), but was so disappointed.
The position is entry level, retail based with 0-2 year of experience. I have a degree in research and analytics and over 5 years of retail management and support ( was more than qualified for the role).
Phone call, fairly standard questions. Began with a cold call based on resume in their system from a previous Paramount application, led to an introductory session. Fairly flexible interview hours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Job experience relating to Python and AWS experience, including certifications
Pretty easy but you have to be light hearted and a conversationalist. Know who you are and align yourself with the company and their values. The President of the division was an interviewer so be ready to ask questions about their background because people like talking about themselves!
