Behavioral Presentation
The entire process involved 5 calls, starting with an initial chat with HR. After that, I met with the supervisors and the VP of the marketing team. All interviews were virtual and lasted between 15 to 30 minutes. It was pretty relaxed because everyone was really friendly and nice. All in all, it was a great interview experience!

Recruiter reached out. I had one interview with the recruiter then another one with an accounts team representative. Never heard back from anyone and communication was terrible. I stopped following up after they had a recruiting agency reach out to me for the same exact role, which means communication internally and externally is not great.

Behavioral Technical
I went through 5 rounds (FIVE!!). First, I spoke to HR over the phone. Then, I had a Skype call with the Head of Strategy. We actually had two meetings because he was double-booked for our first one and could only spare 30 minutes. After that, I met the Strategy Director for coffee in NYC. Then, HR called me again. Finally, I spoke to the Account Director at a WeWork office. Post-interviews, HR contacted me a few times to check my continued interest and provided good feedback, but then they went silent. About a month later, HR texted me to say they were actually looking to hire a Strategy Director and that I wasn't a fit. What a massive waste of time for everyone involved.
