J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Backcountry
Entretien
Lengthy and poorly managed interview process for a Director level role. After an initial interview and completing both an AI assessment and a detailed retail store analysis, communication went dark for weeks at a time with no proactive updates. Ultimately received a boilerplate rejection email with no opportunity to discuss the work submitted. For a senior role requiring significant candidate investment, the lack of communication and follow through was disappointing. Do your due diligence before investing significant time in their process. As of this writing, the job has been reposted multiple times.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Asked about AI daily usage, very focused on using AI.
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 5 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Backcountry (West Valley City, UT) en mai 2015
Entretien
Initial phone interview, followed by a group interview with a proposed plan (free consulting?), followed by another interview with an executive from Park City. There was a lot of work requested by them with minimal feedback, even when it was requested. The initial point of contact would say "Let me know if you have any questions," I'd hit him up with multiple questions, and the response would be something along the lines of "This is why you're being evaluated" and not a single answer was provided in return.
It was obvious there was a very specific skill set and background they were looking for even though, when asked, they had a hard time articulating what it was other than "We'll know it when we see it." The executive from Park City was impressive and you could tell was a tenured leader and not just a manager.
