      Product Assistant Interview

      1 Aug 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Boston, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cengage (Boston, MA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      I set up the interview and got to pick day of the week and time of day. I had six interviews back to back over 3 hours. There was no break, but I did have access to water to drink. The interviews took place in two rooms: first one in an office and the next five in a conference room. One of the interviewing employees called in using the conference room telephone system. I had the chance to meet the managers I would work for and employees currently in the role I interviewed for. The process was very professional and great: everyone I spoke with had positive things to say about Cengage and each showed genuine interest in my resume, responses to questions, and ideas. Most of the questions were about my resume. Interviewers had copies with annotations and asked about prior experiences in my work. There was ample time for my own questions. It was a great model of what an interview process should be: quick, focused on the candidate, and focused on finding a great fit for the role. Culture at Cengage was discussed, but my feeling was that the real intention was identifying "fit" with job duties more than with peers.

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cengage

      Interview

      The interview process for this remote role felt very welcoming. The questions were easy to adapt info and answers to. I felt connected to those I interviewed with, during the calls and over email. I remain in contact with a few people now too.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cengage in Apr 2022

      Interview

      Was contacted by a recruiter after applying, had a phone interview, and then met with a manager for a Zoom interview. From there was bounced around for multiple interviews with other managers, and many phone calls with the recruiter, having to resubmit my application to the position a few times, and ultimately was rejected via email.
