The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Edelman (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2007
Interview
From the initial communication with the HR person to the offer, the process took about 9 weeks. For some reason after the initial email exchange, the communication dropped off and finally was restarted with my efforts (incl. reaching out to the HR person's boss) after some 6 weeks. From the moment we restarted our exchange to the offer, the process took less than 3 weeks and consisted of: 1) phone interview with HR, 2) in-person interviews with the entire team, inluding AEs, ASs and the local practice head and 3) writing/grammar test. The interview process itself, if detailed, was very straightforward.

Applied through linked in with simple questions and resume upload. Never heard back despite being qualified for the job (3+ years at another agency with similar clients). Shocked to not even receive a regret to inform you email
Composto por diversas etapas mas no geral o processo fluiu bem e sempre recebi as respostas rápido. RH bem atencioso e comunicação por email funcionou bem. No geral achei um processo criterioso mas não exatamente difícil
