      Writer Interview

      7 Feb 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Berlin
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Inkitt (Berlin) in Nov 2020

      Interview

      Initial interview was cancelled one hour before it was due to take place. I wasted a day preparing a writing assignment. Almost a year later, in November 2020, HR contacted me again, saying that another position was now available and they would make me an offer before the end of November. I did two more writing assignments and five interviews. In February 2021, still no offer. Promises about "updates" and "next steps" were repeatedly broken. I contacted HR and the responsible officer told me that, actually, they couldn't hire me at the moment, that I was merely an "active candidate"and that they would update me later. I withdrew my candidature.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell us about your writing experience. Tell us about a time when you were prepared to put creative freedom to one side. Tell us in detail about your experience in a writers' room.

      Writer Interview

      3 Jan 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Inkitt

      Interview

      - Submitted CV and received a response by email that I had been successful. - Huge delay in the next steps, I waited months to hear from them again and had to email to chase them up. - When I got a response they sent a task - to edit a chapter from one of their already published stories. Highly specific criteria for the notes and 3 day deadline. Left no room for creativity. - Once this was completed, I received notes on my notes basically telling me to make the female protagonist weaker and not as headstrong. It seems that this is what they want for all their female lead characters, for them to be submissive and dominated by the male characters in the story. - I was expected to edit the story again, after which I received the feedback that they would not be moving on with my application since "the way you have implemented the feedback around your cliff-hanger, which did not revolve around the characters themselves but relied on external action to push forward the narrative."

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A written task - to edit a story they had already published. Then to re-edit based on their notes.

      Writer Interview

      5 Mar 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Inkitt in Mar 2021

      Interview

      Bogus interview process that involved a lengthy, poorly explained assignment BEFORE an interview that explained what the assignment was supposed to entail. I have heard very negative things about this company from former employees, and my interview experience definitely lent credence to what I had heard

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The interview entails an 'assignment' that takes quite a while to complete

      Dear applicant, first of all, thank you for taking extra time and sharing your honest and detailed feedback with us and others here on glassdoor. Only a few invest time to make companies like us better and more candidate-oriented. At the same time, I am very sorry that you have had a negative experience in our selection process. In terms of the selection process for the Writer position, we have put plenty of time into designing the best task assignment we could for the candidates. The responses were very positive, however, your feedback shows that we have overseen something crucial and have room for improvement. I would be more than happy to speak with you and understand your pain points so we can design a better process together with you. If you allow us to have this conversation, I would be also very thankful if you could share which negative things you have heard about us as we can eliminate things only by being aware of these. Thank you once again for your honest feedback and please feel free to reach out to me (email below), so we can speak and implement all of the feedback you have for us. Bartek / bartek@inkitt.com Sr. Talent Acquisition Manager at Inkitt
