- High company growth and increased excitement about the company
- High position standards/requirements (increasing each month)
- However, they look further than knowledge, ability, and skill and focus on personality, attitudes, values, beliefs, and interests.
- Example application questions:
- You know that book (and website) about 6 word memoirs? Well, now is your chance to write one. We want to hear your six word memoir.
- Tell us what you do for fun. This can be having a drink with your friends or playing chess --we don't care what you do, we just want to know what you do outside the office.
- Working at Tough Mudder is more than a job and is even more than a career -- it's a lifestyle. Tell us why you want your work to become a lifestyle and the benefit of achieving such a thing.
- Everyone starts with an internship. This gives Tough Mudder a trial period to see if new hires fit in -- they have time to decide whether to make a permanent offer.
- Have a fun and attractive corporate culture. From their website:
Tough Mudder is not the average work place, and we don’t employ average people.
You’ll learn more in 2 months at Tough Mudder than you did in 2 years at your old job and will have real responsibilities from day one. Forget about getting coffee or making copies – you’ll be negotiating with vendors, brainstorming new marketing strategies, and traveling to planning meetings across the country. You’ll work alongside an incredibly talented group of 35 all-stars with backgrounds in everything from banking, trading, law, tech, construction, events, sports business and more.
Most importantly, you’ll be working in a place where we take our work seriously, but not ourselves. There’s a sense of humor about TMHQ that you won’t find at other companies and we’ve been profiled by the NY Times as a place that “exudes Gen Y cool”. Our offices are in DUMBO Brooklyn – the home of New York’s creative industry where we’re surrounded by start-ups, studios, and countless other innovative young companies.
