Red flags all around! I always thought WGSN was a super exciting company. Nothing strange initially, I submitted an application and within 3 days they requested an interview. That being said, I was receiving emails from the hiring manager at very strange times like 2am. I didn’t give it much thought because I considered the manager may have been travelling etc. I started worrying properly when the manager asked me to move our very first interview outside of working hours, with no explanation on why they were suggesting such a time. I declined and offered a more reasonable option, which was accepted. Other red flags during the interview, I was asked exactly what I was making in my current job (not even a salary expectation). Following that the manager started to outline that they’re a very commission driven team and the more strenuous your activity, the more you get rewarded. Overall, I had the impression that the team here would be overworked, micromanaged, and underpaid. I was supposed to hear back on the outcome of the interview, never did and I never chased to be honest.

3 rounds of interviews with one mock case study/mock client session. I met with working level manager, regional heads. They asked questions about the clients I had managed, my experience in managing teams, my background in client servicing and account management.
