      Customer Service Coordinator Interview

      May 14, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Nashville, TN
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Houzz (Nashville, TN)

      Interview

      Interview process was easy but extremely lengthy for no effective reason. As the reviews said, there are multiple steps to the interview. I experienced 3 steps: 20-min phone interview, 30 min presentation 5 min interview (speed dating), 1 hr Skype interview with case study (4 problems in 15 minutes). First interview was great, they were overly impressed with my resume, easy typical customer service questions, and they liked I knew about the brand from the beginning as a user. Second interview, complete waste of time. I was told via email from California contact that the interview started at 5:00 PM. I got they're a 15 min early, since it's in downtown and rush hour. Did they Presentation didn't start until 5:45 PM, no apologies for starting late or respect of our time. Very unprofessional. Presenter was in town from California, seemed nice but scatter brained and not tech savvy for a tech brand rep. Presentation kept me interested about the company but nothing I didn't already learn through the phone interview. Speed dating interview was brief and not as deep as the phone interview I had the week before. Interviewer seemed too stressed with office responsibilities to be present during the interview. Overall, I think it's in their best interest to scrap this part. Waste of money for them and time for us. The only benefit, I would assume, to see how you look or to sell you on how great they are or not. I got called back for the 3rd interview which was Skype interview with another rep in California. The interviewer, seemed uninterested in the interview, stressed, common thread I guess? I have wealth of experience in almost 10 years graduation from college. However, the interviewer seemed more focused on my high school and college jobs, clubs I was involved with, GPA, how much I made on my W2 last year, and how I got every job, what my role was, and why I left. Recent experience, I understand why, but my filing job in high school is not relevant. Interview was not an organic free-flowing, instead she was reading questions off a list, forced half-smiling here and there. Such a painfully awkward conversation for an outgoing person as myself. The longer the interview went the less I became interested in the company. Interview ended with having to complete a case study, solve 4 customer service issues in 15 minutes. Easy but no direction on how to answer the questions not knowing company's customer service policy. Only briefed on product return policy, which only works for 1 question. Interview process is lengthy and confusing because they want someone qualified with professional experience, overachievers, but they're interview questions are targeting someone who's just graduating from college. Not for me, but hope it's great for you. Let's be honest, it's a glorified call center position, an entry-role. They should know by the first interview, let alone second (real second should be Skype interview), if they want you or not. Complete waste of time and intensity for an entry-role position. Seems like a great company with potential but they're definitely unorganized and need help tightening the ropes in their operation.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Houzz (Nashville, TN) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      I attended an "Open Houzz" Came in with a group. Watched an 10 to 15 min presentation on what "Houzz" is about, and what you would be doing in the position applied for. After the video we then waited to be called individually for our race 1st round of interviews. I chatted with the other canidates and made small talk. I even saw someone I've worked with before!! We went thru the app that "Houzz" offers talked about their products!! I was stoked!! I was called up for the 1st intetview...It went great!! The "Houzz"employees are outgoing, inviting, and overall welcoming!! I made it past the 1st interview!! Yayy!! Then I was scheduled for an final/ role play interview for the next day!! Final/ role play intetview included an recruiter that called in and stated that we sent her the wrong color for the pillow that she ordered. This is where you would need to know how to empathize and sympathize, and be convincing to make the customer at ease and happy!! I did great on that portion, even the recruiter stated I did great!! The final interview was with the same recruiter I had the role play with. It was more in detail about my past employment, what I liked disliked. We went over salary, hours of operation, pto, company paid insurance, do you have any planned trips. This overall experience was great!!!! Background check has been started, now I'm just waiting on the phone call with the offer to start!! Fingers crossed!!

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Houzz (Irvine, CA) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      I was approached by Kirstyn Sullivan on LinkedIn asking if I would be interested in a position at Houzz. I agreed and we scheduled a call to introduce ourselves and see if it would be a good fit. After she told me more about the company and position and I gave my past work experience, we both felt like it would be a good idea to move along. I then had my first in person interview which went well and lead to the role play interview. We weren't able to do the role play interview in person, however, we later did it over the phone the following week.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Houzz (Nashville, TN)

      Interview

      Three part interview process. I was recruited via LinkedIn, after which I had a pleasant telephone interview. Afterwards I had another pleasant Skype interview. About two hours after the Skype interview, I was invited to the Nashville office for the third part of the interview which consisted of a roleplay and another Skype interview. The interviewer was 20 minutes late. The roleplay was okay, but extremely awkward due to my obvious lack of training and no background regarding the website or such a telephone call. The Skype interview itself was extremely negative, it was centered solely on my weaknesses, talking about my negative experiences and attributes, ect.. He couldn't seem to crack a smile and he acted as though he had something better to do.
