Our two cents on the Yelp employee who got fired after publishing a piece on how hard working at Yelp was: Good for her. I’m sure she expected to be fired – now anywhere she goes she’ll stand out in an interview. Side note about employee expectations: everyone wants to make more money. I do, you do, and our interns do. But it’s not an employer’s job to pay someone as much as possible; it’s an employer’s responsibility to treat people fairly, and with respect, hopefully, and to give them honest feedback. I’m not sure what Ms. Jane’s intention was in writing the piece, but I’m glad she did: it’s opened up cool discussions in our office, and I hope yours too.

We’re hiring at least three positions; we’re lucky to be doing well enough to need new staff ASAP. (If you’re interested they range in salary from $45,000 to $65,000, depending on experience. They are SEO Account Manager, Paid Media Account Manager, and Social Media Account Manager.) So you know what to expect, our typical interview process goes like this: We put an advertisement out. After 1 week, we go through the resumes, and invite the best fits to a phone screen, a quick 10 minute phone conversation where we ask some basic questions and get a sense of the candidate. We might set aside 2 hours to just do 10 minute phone screens. The people who do best on those phone screens we, ask to come in for a face to face. If you think you’re a good fit for any of these roles, please send a resume to hello@masoninteractive.com.
