There were 3 rounds total. The last round involved a 5 step task: figure out difficult to recycle waste streams, identify companies to target, list people within those companies to contact, write two sample emails, and then prepare a 4 slide presentation pitching the idea.

The interview process was pretty standard, all the questions were directly related to the job and the company. I had plenty of time for the whole process, and the interviewer was professional and made me feel comfortable.

Had an HR screening that was a thirty minute interview. Then a Hiring Manager interview, also thirty minutes. Finally, a team interview that was an hour long and included homework. The homework had a variety of tasks related to the job and some philosophical questions, since TerraCycle is a social enterprise.
