First I talked to HR, then I met with some people from the marketing department, and finally I had a chat with the department lead. We talked about why I liked the company, the industry, and my strengths and weaknesses.

We exchanged emails to set up a group interview. During the group interview, we got information about the open roles and answered some questions about teamwork. It was a pretty straightforward and informative process. The company has a fair amount of turnover, but that's likely due to the business type and location rather than the company itself.

The interview process began normally. I met the team and they invited me for beers one afternoon. Following that, I received an email with a personality test that seemed legally questionable, requiring me to rank items like "babies" and "marriage." I was also asked to work an event that weekend, which I managed to do for one day despite having prior out-of-state plans. During the event, I worked alongside others competing for the same role. At the end of the day, photos of myself and the competition were taken and shared company-wide for a vote on who was most helpful.
