I applied online. I interviewed at New World Group
Interview
Applied online, then the company executive invited me to do a 1-on-1 video interview. No difficult/technical questions were asked, but the tone was a bit intense and interrogating for a first round interview. Despite this, I was given positive feedback during the call, told I would be a good fit for the role, and was even asked what my avails were for further video interviews & an in-person office visit. Didn't hear anything for a couple of weeks, then got a rejection. After reflecting on this process, I see several red flags. In the interview, I was told that the company is essentially divided into two separate businesses: Marvel work (this team is mostly remote) and Real Estate work (in the office 4-5 days a week). Might be worth knowing, as this was not in the job description. Also not included in the job description was the salary range, which is against the law in NJ in 2025! In the interivew, when I asked what the range was, was told that it hadn't been decided yet. Red flag! That was definitely a first for me. Based on this interview process, I get the impression that I'd be micromanaged, overworked, and underpaid if I joined this company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Tell me about your experience at ___ and how you would bring those skills across to this role. Do you have any experience working with real estate clients?
Very thorough process, appreciated the personal touch the company had throughout. Recruiter was very skilled and thoughtful. Always enjoy interviewing when it does not feel like reading from a script.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at New World Group (Secaucus, NJ) in Mar 2016
Interview
The interview went really well but it seemed like it was a secret. I wasn't shown around the office at all. I went through all of my portfolio and then they said they'd let me know. A week later I followed up and they said they changed their minds and aren't hiring anyone.... I think they were just using my for ideas.
