Had three phone interviews then went into the office for short 30-minute interviews with several team members. I was interviewed by a Recruiter, the General Manager of the team, the Director, Associate Director, Senior Manager, and Research Manager.

The interview process was pretty involved: first, there were two recruiter calls, and then, over a span of 48 hours, I had four separate interviews, each lasting about 45 minutes. This was tough to manage with my current full-time job, and it didn't seem like they considered that. Also, they asked pretty much the same questions in all of them, so it might've been better to combine some or just have 2-3 interviews.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation
HR gave me a call for a screening, and after I passed that, I had to do a math and a writing test. It took them 10 days to get back to me after I submitted my tests. Then I had a Skype interview with HR, and after that, HR pitched me to the team. I was then invited to the office for a team interview, which involved meeting with 5 people for 45 minutes each. I was told I'd hear back within a week, but unfortunately, I didn't get the job. The feedback I got was that I didn't have enough passion for market research, which was frustrating given how long the process was for an entry-level role and the lack of clear explanation.
