A recruiter reached out a week after I applied online for a phone screen. We talked about my previous experience and some of the job-related skills. After that call, I was set up for three more interview rounds with the hiring manager and other team members. Scheduling was easy with the recruiter. The interviews were pretty typical for Associate Brand Manager roles, focusing on 'why here,' behavioral questions, and some market share/brand strategy scenarios. I didn't hear back for two weeks after the last interview, so I followed up. The recruiter said they were still deciding and would let me know. I never got an update and later saw on LinkedIn that someone was hired. The interviews themselves were fine, but getting ghosted after several rounds was a bummer. Apparently, this happens often with them.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It took about 4 weeks total to go from applying online to getting an offer. I applied online and heard back from a recruiter by the end of the week. Then I did a HireVue digital interview where they asked me about 5 questions regarding my marketing experience and some behavioral questions. After that, I went to Ewing for an on-site interview. I met with 5 different people for about 30 minutes each. They mostly asked behavioral questions. I got the offer within a week.

Behavioral Other

Worst interview experience ever in my life! The process took 2 months. Phone screening with HR no show and rescheduled, hiring manager interview followed in a week, and head of marketing final interview. I followed up with HR and the hiring manager, no response. Almost a month later, I got rejected by an auto-rejection email.
