      Merchandising Assistant Interview

      24 Jul 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Redwood City, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shutterfly (Redwood City, CA) in Jun 2018

      Interview

      I applied online through their website. The following week I received an invitation for a phone screen. The questions and process was straight forward - walked them through my resume, talked more about the position, and got familiar about Shutterfly. Second round was a phone interview with hiring manager. Same process, but in more details about the position, team I would be working with, office culture, and what to expect when working there. Third round was on an onsite with 5 members from the team - Director, Senior Merchandising Manager, Merchandising Manager, Associate Merchandising Manager, and Merchandising Assistant. It was 1:1 for the first 2 people and a panel for the final 3 people. Typical interview process of walking through your background and the position/company for the first 2. The panel interview was in more detailed as I would be working with those individuals directly. You will be given card/products to arrange and they will see how you design and create your assortment. They were looking to see if you could address the best selling item, what their customers are looking for during seasonal period, and how much their customers are willing to spend for a specific occasion. After the interview, they called within the week if they passed or would like you to join. I wasn't really into the company in the beginning, but I applied anyway cause the position seemed promising. However, As I got further into the interview process the more I didn't want the position. The position was more into design/creativity and I was looking more for an analytical/reporting role. I am sure the role would be perfect for someone who was into that, but it wasn't for me. They could probably tell as my answers became more short and direct without elaboration towards the end of my interview process. Everyone was nice and professional. I am sure it would be a great place to work, but the culture/role didn't fit me. Good luck!
