      Copy Desk Chief Interview

      17 Apr 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NerdWallet (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      I spoke with the hiring manager, took a take-home test and was quickly brought into the office to speak with several people I would potentially be supervising. The conversations were insightful and the individuals engaging. I enjoyed the discussions and got uniformly positive feedback from the people in the group interview. An hour later, I received a curt email informing me that I "wasn't a fit" and wouldn't be considered. I asked if there was anything I could have done to improve my chances and received a dismissive response that didn't answer the question. The position I interviewed for remained unfilled for more than a year. I'm not sure what NerdWallet was looking for, and maybe that was part of the problem.

      Thanks for your feedback. When we interviewed for this job, we had a clear idea of who we needed in the role. Knowing that there wasn't a fit, we offered the courtesy of a speedy reply. We were willing to take the time needed to find the right leader because we value substantive copy editing. We now have a strong copy chief who inspires and motivates her team of more than a dozen copy editors. We've also promoted several other copy editors into other roles. We continue to invest in talent that best fits NerdWallet and look to help develop our writers' and editors' careers. Maggie Leung, senior director of content
