Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Interview Questions
& Process

Application got a super fast response, which was nice. The interview itself was a bit strange, though. Started with a presentation that was pretty simple. During the presentation, one interviewer actually left the screen, which I thought was rude, and they also cut me off while I was talking. They asked a lot of super specific questions about the industry, not really related to my CV at all. It felt like they hadn't read my CV because they asked me things that were already on there, like about my academic background and my experience with qual and quant research. The other interviewer seemed okay, but they barely said anything.

I sent my cover letter and resume in December. I had a basic screening interview in February, followed by another, more in-depth phone interview in March. There was also a straightforward written test. They contacted both references I provided. They thought I might be a good fit for an analytics intern role, so I completed an Excel and R test and had another interview in April. They indicated I'd hear back by May 1st about the domestic intern position and within a week for the data role. Although I didn't get either position, I was bummed about not even receiving an automated rejection. I never heard back and ended up accepting another summer internship. The whole process took a long time and the communication was poor, which was disappointing given how much time I invested (three interviews, two tests, two references, follow-ups, and thank you emails).

I applied for the Domestic Intern position by emailing a cover letter and resume. Tiffany, the HR head, called me the next day to talk about my interest in GQR and then scheduled an interview for the following day. When I got there, Tiffany interviewed me for about 10 minutes, asking about my background and any campaign experience I might have. Afterward, two people from the Domestic Team interviewed me, asking standard questions and answering mine. I got a call on Monday offering me the job.

It was a very long interview process with many steps. First, there was a phone interview. Then, an in person interview and a long test. After that, another in person interview and a lengthy writing assignment. After all these steps, they offered me an internship even though I applied for the position.
