      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at SMG (Nottingham, England) in Mar 2026

      Interview

      Phone screening, first interview, second interview then a meet the team. On the first interview, the interviewers seemed like they didn’t know what they were doing, there was no structure with the questions they asked me. It kinda went “tell me about a time… then it was a why us question then it was have you ever used budgets before? Then it was a tell me about a time question. So I think all that alone really caught me off guard and meant I couldn’t interview well. It would’ve been better if the hiring managers seemed a bit more bubbly and as if they wanted to actually interview me, it felt very one sided and awkward. Not to mention I was asked questions as if I had worked there before which was weird.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at SMG (Nottingham, England)

      Interview

      First call, prescreening. It was nice however I didn't get the call the first time due to their booking system, so I had to reschedule. I'd recommend to screenshot your logs to their call system and send proofs for rescheduling.

      Question 1

      They ask about their values and how you demonstrated those values in your current place of work.

      Thank you for sharing your interview experience with us. We’re really pleased to hear you found the process straightforward and positive overall. It’s great to know the conversation itself felt welcoming, and that our focus on values came through clearly. Understanding how candidates bring values to life in their day-to-day work is genuinely important to us. We’re sorry to hear about the initial issue with the booking system. That’s frustrating, and we appreciate you flagging it. The experience should feel smooth from the very first interaction, and we’ll continue to review our scheduling process to make sure it works as intended and doesn’t create unnecessary hassle for candidates. Thank you again for taking the time to apply and to leave feedback. We wish you every success in your next opportunity.
