  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    It definitely sounds like it's very scripted. Perhaps look at trying to have a meaningful conversation over a coffee instead of trying to get through a list of questions.
  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    I need to add more value into their campaigns. They are trading off a name that used to have a great reputation. Unfortunately, event integration is not what it used to be.
