Candidate-reported interview process

It was pretty thorough. They ask case study questions, like how to sell a candy bar or how to promote a product in their store. Usually, there are two interviews, each with a different manager.

The interview was good. They asked a lot of questions, but I handled them. I liked the process, although it took a while. There was also a case study that involved role-playing, which was pretty interesting.

The interview was a bit intimidating but also felt calm. There were two interviewers. They asked about my background and my knowledge of Altria. It's important to research Altria beforehand, including their other companies and main products. This shows interest and builds confidence.
