Behavioral Technical

I applied to Morning Consult near the end of May and started the interview process around mid-June. The first step was an initial 30-minute phone screen. After that, the company sent two deliverables to be completed within 24 hours. Once those were done, there was a 75-minute goal/technical skills interview and then another 60-minute behavioral interview. My experience interviewing with Morning Consult was very positive. Everyone I spoke with was kind. The questions asked were relevant to the job description. If you prepare, you will do well.

Behavioral Technical

Had a 30-minute screening call, then got an assignment to do in 24 hours. It took about 4 hours to finish, assuming you know excel and powerpoint. Next, there was a 75-minute interview with 2 team members. After that, a final 60-minute interview with 2 more people from the team. It was a really good experience, everyone was friendly and easy to talk to. They asked some tough questions, but it didn't feel too stressful, more like chatting with a colleague. I was happy with how it all went.

It was a phone screen, then two take-home assignments that took me nearly 24 hours to finish. After that, two more calls with the team. I wasn't thrilled about spending so much time on the take-homes without getting any feedback on what I could have done better or why I was rejected.
