The first interview was on Zoom where I got to know the hiring staff and learn about DOWL as a business and what the Marketing Assistant role involves. The second interview was in person and included tours of the office and building.

The interview process took three weeks and had three rounds: a phone screen, a Teams interview, and an in-person interview with a 30-minute assessment test. They said it was an entry-level position but required 3+ years of experience. After interviews, an assignment, and traveling in bad weather, I got a rejection call from the Art Director. They chose someone with 5 years of experience for the 'entry-level' role. The process was frustrating, and it made me wonder what working there would be like if the hiring was this difficult.

Behavioral Technical
It was a pretty straightforward interview. I first chatted with the project manager, and then I spoke with one of the team members. They were really trying to fill the role quickly, and since I was still in college, it just didn't end up being a good fit. It would have been nice to get some feedback from the project manager though.

Had a basic structural analysis test in both interviews. Very in depth questions about experiences directly related to the job description. Also asked desired salary, even with 3 total interviewers. Asked multi part questions, and questions lasted about an hour, after the 30 minute quiz.
