First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Marcus & Millichap.
Administrative Assistant
Weird interview. As soon as I joined the virtual meeting, the interviewer just started firing questions at me. There was no usual part where the interviewer talks more about the job, what they are looking for, or introduces themselves. After I answered each question, she just said 'awesome!' and looked back at her paper to ask the next one. Also, she seemed to be in a call center. Instead of leaving with a better idea of the job and being excited, I felt weird and hoped the interviewer was okay. Not moving forward with this.

Investment Brokerage Intern
The interview process usually involves about 2 to 3 rounds, though it can sometimes extend beyond that. The initial round is primarily behavioral. If you progress to a second round, you'll likely be assigned a task to complete and present. Following that, there's a chance you might be evaluated on your coachability and how fast you grasp new concepts.

Public Relations Specialist
The whole interview process felt like it took forever. I had 6 interviews in total, most of them were online. The interviewers seemed pretty nice, and the whole thing spanned about a month. Since I already had a job, I was really accommodating with their schedules. After those 6 interviews, they made me do two writing assignments without giving me any feedback. After waiting another month, the recruiter finally told me they went with someone else. Honestly, I think the process could have been quicker, and they should have told me about the writing tasks upfront.

Financial Analyst
The recruiter was 20 minutes late and super rude from the beginning, acting like I was bothering her. She'd ask a question then cut me off before I could say much. At the end, she asked if I had questions. I started asking about the job's daily tasks because neither she nor the listing were clear. She ignored my question and said, 'Look, if I think you're a good fit, I'll put you on a list for the managers and they'll contact you if they want to,' then hung up fast, not letting me reply. It was under 5 minutes. They've ignored me for a month now. Worst interview ever. I was really hoping for this job and am so let down.
