The process was quite structured and I had one main point of contact for most of it. A different person handled things when it came to the offer. I went through two interview rounds and got an offer. HR also called me a few times during the whole thing.

I had some interviews with the recruitment agency first. Then, I had an in-person interview with the CRM director and after that, with the Senior VP of Digital. There weren't any tests or quizzes, it was a pretty straightforward interview.

The interview process was straightforward, requiring quick and direct thinking. It was semi-formal, but also felt like a casual chat. The questions were intriguing and made me think, definitely one of the more interesting interviews I've had. I'd happily apply for another role if the opportunity arose.
