Emma Marketing Intern Interview Questions
& Process

It was a 3 stage process - Round 1: An online behavioral and cognitive assessment (they do this because they have a large volume of applicants but it has nothing to do with the actual job) - Round 2: 20 minute HR screening - the HR person had an agenda they stuck to in practiced fashion- questions like why Emma and relevant ones related to the role - Round 3: 1 hour Interview with a HR person and Brand Head- It really seemed as though someone forced the brand head to do the interview. She was extremely unenthusiastic and asked a barrage of questions in a very monotone fashion. Some of the questions felt nonsensical and as though she was trying her best to just fill up as much time as possible. Interviews are two way- and there was absolutely no effort to make the role seems exciting. One week after I was rejected with a generic email saying they found better qualified candidates the role was up on LinkedIn again. My theory is that they have untenably high standards or these are ghost roles to provide the false illusion that they are constantly recruiting.

The interview process was super smooth and organized, which was great. They communicated clearly from the beginning, and I felt pretty comfortable the whole time. The interviewer asked some good questions that let me show off my skills and what I'm into, and they were also really open and engaging when I asked them stuff about the job and the company. It was a really seamless experience, and it gave me a good vibe about the company and the team.

I went through a selection process for an internship at Emma. After applying, I was selected to take a logic test that was quite complex for the time given. After passing, I had an initial interview with HR, which was conducted calmly, though with some tough questions. Then, I was invited to the final interview, with the area manager and another person from HR. This interview was very long and had way too many questions for an entry-level position. The job description said the intern could be part of an Offline or Online team, suggesting remote work. However, this wasn't discussed in the first interview, and only in the last stage was I told I'd need to come to the office three times a week. This was very uncomfortable because I live over 300 km away and was counting on remote work. The lack of clarity on essential job conditions was frustrating and a waste of my time.
