      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SnackNation (Culver City, CA) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      Before any phone interviews, you are given a 30 minute personality/assessment test. --> No prep is involved. Assuming you "pass" that test, a 30 minute phone interview is then scheduled with one of their recruiters. --> A lot of the conversation focuses on your past experience and why you want to work for SnackNation. The next step is a 1.5-2 hour long in-person interview with 3 of the other sales managers. --> Upon getting there, I was asked to wait 30 minutes due to scheduling conflicts. During that time, the recruiter was kind enough to give me a tour of their facilities. While everyone was nice, I immediately observed that the office environment has a "boiler room" feel that is very bro-like. In regards to the 3 mini-interviews I had, none of them referred back to my past experience nor did anyone ask about my past experience. Much of the questioning was situational. What I didn't appreciate was that when the situations are given, they assume you already know how the company is structured, what the acronyms are for various positions, and what the processes are. You can ask them to clarify but other than that, you have little time to digest any information. You then must give your solution to the presented problem. While some of the interviewers were nice, others were straight-up jerks, but maybe that is their way of testing how you perform under pressure. Other Observations: - Very disorganized. I had to change from meeting room to meeting room and the interviews were constantly being interrupted by people coming into the room trying to grab a meeting space.. - Turnover seems to be a big issue there. The longest tenured person for the job I was interviewing for was 7 months. When I asked about turnover, I was never given a consistent answer or the question was avoided altogether. None of the interviewers seemed overly enthusiastic about their job. - They promote a work-life balance but when I asked about office hours they told me how people get in at 6am and leave at 6pm. No flexibility to work remotely. - Cool open office environment. I can tell they like to have fun, but again I think it is simply a mask for that boiler-room environment. - The majority of the sales reps looked to be fresh out of college. All in all, this organization is definitely going through some growing pains and it was evident throughout this interview process. They are even re-branding to get rid of the bro-like image and atmosphere but not sure how much that will help. My gut tells me that they are looking for someone that will simply take orders and get the numbers in. There doesn't seem to be much room for creativity or changing the product offering because at the end of the day, you're selling a snacks to offices.
