      Associate Interview

      5 May 2026
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Sotheby's (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Consisted of multiple rounds of interviews lasting between .25 to .5 hours. All interviews were one-on-one, had a different interviewer each time, and were conducted virtually. The overall interview experience across all rounds was primarily consistent with very typical behavioral-style interview questions / content.

      Associate Interview

      15 May 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Sotheby's (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Multiple rounds of interviews, including three rounds of easier conversational interviews and one interview built to test our art history knowledge and functionality during stress. The easier interview rounds felt redundant and the last interview felt rushed.

      Associate Interview

      13 Jun 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Sotheby's (New York, NY) in Mar 2025

      Interview

      The interview process was straightforward and more casual than I thought it’d be. The interviewer seemed unorganized and even asked me the same question twice. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and was focused more on personality questions than technicals.
