I applied online and got referred. Then a recruiter called me. After that, there was a 30-minute meeting with the hiring manager, followed by a 30-minute meeting with the department director. Then I had a take-home test, and finally, I presented that test to a panel. The response time between stages was slow, taking about 3 months to reach the final round. The take-home test took around 4 hours and needed good adtech and market research knowledge.

So I went through 6 rounds of interviews for this role. As a college grad, I'd say skip this. The people I talked to were nice, but they all asked the same questions in each 1-hour interview. I'm not mad about being rejected, but it's the fact that they stretched it to 6 interviews when it could have been just one that made me want to stop job hunting. This experience really got me down. Especially since it was an entry-level position, it's pretty frustrating.

The hiring manager started by asking me to give a brief introduction about myself. Then, they asked some questions to gauge my thinking abilities. We also discussed my past work experience and any other companies I've been speaking with for roles.
