The interview process included a recruiter call, a hiring manager round, and a final round. It was a pretty standard and quick process, and the recruiter was professional. They were mostly interested in whether my background fit, and the hiring manager round didn't involve any product case interviews but focused on my past projects.

Case Technical Presentation Group Behavioral
It started with a screening interview, then a meeting with the manager which was mostly mini case studies and an awkward technical section. Then there was a technical review on SQL and python, which was weird because python wasn't a requirement and not on my resume. This was followed by a project and presentation to 10 people where many asked questions outside the project's scope. After that, there were group interviews. They wanted to speak one more time, but the whole process felt negative for the role and pay, so I withdrew. They're acting like a high-growth startup even though they're an unprofitable subsidiary of a slow-growth company.

Technical Coding Behavioral
This interview left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I was really excited to interview with this company. They had technical issues in the beginning which made the interview start late. Then I was on video camera but they were not, so it was a bit uncomfortable for me since I was talking to google chat icons. Lastly, they didn’t give me enough time to look over the question and read the code. I maybe had maybe 2 minutes, maybe 3 and I was very confused during the technical. It didn’t leave a good impression because there were vital things I had missed had I gotten a chance to read the entire problem. The recruiter told me it would be a 15 min intro and 45 min technical. There was no intro, they didn’t ask a single question about myself. The first 20 min was the technical and then the rest of the time I got to ask questions. At the end I had one more question and the guy said we ran out of time, bye, and hung up. It was so abrupt and rude. Would not recommend to friends.

Behavioral Presentation
So after you apply online, they'll chat with you about your digital advertising knowledge. Then, you'll hop on a phone call with a Regional Director. After that, it's an in-person chat with the Regional Director, then a phone call with an Associate Regional Director, and finally, a phone call with an Executive Director. Lately, they've been swapping out one of those phone calls for a panel interview as the last step. Make sure you do your homework on the area they're hiring in and know your dealers and competitors inside out. Also, come with a solid plan for how you'll grow your market. The interview location can change; they might fly you to a main office or it could be right there in Santa Monica.
