I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Altria in Feb 2016
Interview
3 Rounds:
1st round: typical behavioral interview that focus mostly on gathering your creativity, analytical skills, and leadership.
2nd round: a case interview in which you analyze some data for 30 minutes, then go through a role play sales pitch, and then they ask you a couple behavioral questions afterwards. Case was super simple, you didn't have to ask for any data and the role play only lasts 8 minutes.
3rd round: a site visit where you experience a day on the job and assess culture fit.
Note: I just finished the 2nd round, so still waiting to hear if I made it to the third round, so I don't know if I got the offer or not yet.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
When's a time you received negative feedback and how did you react? How has this experience shaped how you deliver negative feedback?
Made it past the intial Hirevue interview that was a pre-recorded set of questions that I had to give a video answer to. I recently just scheduled the panel interview that I have next week. Be prepared to know about the company and be prepared to relate your past experiences to the current role and answer behavioral type interview questions
Was a little hard the ask good question about the company and stuff. But overall it was really challenging. I went through the hirevue interview.It was a video interview I suggest do your research about the company before starting th ibterview
