Wunderkind Marketing Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process is typically 5 steps. It starts with a phone screening where HR asks about your past experience. The second step is a two-part assessment that measures your ability to effectively segment using the BounceX software criteria (all given) and your creativity and writing skills. Next is the in-person interview. Sometimes they do a Skype interview first, but I was in New York at the time so I just came to the office. During the in-person interview I met with my HR contact and was interviewed by two people. I got a tour of the office and met some new hires. At the end of the interview I set up a time to complete the last round. The last round is a mock call with a prep call before. There's a helpful information packet that was essential in my preparation. Be sure to do as much preparation as possible before the prep call as it's just a time to ask questions. The mock call is broken up into sharing data results with a 'client' and then presenting ideas. Spend a few hours preparing for the call, but understand that you must be able to think on your feet and answer unexpected questions as well. My call lasted about an hour, I was asked for references later that day and then received an offer a couple of days later. My HR contact was present and wonderful throughout my whole experience. He made me feel extremely comfortable about what every part of the process was like and was approachable for all of my questions (shout out Ben). Had I not been offered the job, it still would have been a great interview experience albeit time consuming and challenging. If you aren't excited about the opportunity to work here from the onset, it's not an interview that you can do without focus or effort.

The interview process was pretty standard. I started with a 30-minute recruiter phone screen, followed by a 30-minute take-home assessment. Then there was a 3-hour in-person interview, which felt really long. After that, I had a 1-hour prep for a mock client call, and then the 1-hour mock client call itself. Finally, there was a 2-hour follow-up. It felt like everyone was just saying the same scripted positive things about the company, making it seem very rehearsed and almost robotic. It's weird how many of them have "We're hiring" in their LinkedIn name. The company kept emphasizing how exclusive they are and how difficult it is to get hired, making it feel like a huge honor to be chosen. I didn't get a great vibe from them overall. The Glassdoor reviews seem really fake and all posted around the same time, probably written by HR or employees on command. It seems like all these positives might be hiding something.

I got contacted by HR super fast, same day I applied online! I had a 30 min phone call with her, and it was really nice. We talked about my resume, and I also told her about my analytical skills, my people skills, and what I'm hoping to get from my first job. It was a good chat overall, and she said she'd let me know about the next steps. Sadly, I didn't make it to the next round, but she did email to say I was a strong candidate and it was a tough choice, which I appreciated. I guess my analytical software skills weren't quite what they needed.
