Wonder Research interview questions

1. 30 minute phone screen 2. Take-home assignment 3. 2nd phone interview/discuss assignment 4. In-person interview with HR, and 4 other team members Major issues: advertised salary range was higher than what was discusssed in person. (50-80k listed on Angelist, 45-65k discussed in person. Discrepancy not acknowledged); No specific reason for rejection was given. When pressed for one, email was ignored for weeks. Some personal questions asked during interview are actually illegal. They are a young company - should train HR better. Overall, they engaged me when I was doing homework for them - an assignment that took quite some time and was a clever way for them to mine for days about how other startups work, etc. After that, a very dismissive and disrespectful group. Not people you’d like to partner with.

The AskWonder job description is very misleading. You are initially led to believe that it is a content writing position, where you write articles based on research. This is not true. They are hiring writers to write up information for third-party clients. Their guidelines are simple, yet very research intensive. You are given articles to look at, but some are quite lengthy. The interview process involved completing over an hour long writing test. The length depended on your ability to go through research and multiple guideline files to complete three sample assignments. As the pay is not consistent, completing the interview test and working at AskWonder is a waste of time.
