The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Edelman (New York, NY) in Jul 2007
Interview
A woman I worked with at my previous job passed along my resume and mentioned I would be interested in relocating to New York. The head of the division called me to ask if I could "swing by and meet some people." I'm not sure if anything formal was ever arranged. I met with four different people, each for 30 minutes. They asked some general questions about my resume and one of them explicitly told me I should probably go work in D.C. instead of New York.
After the interviews, I took a quick AP style test and timed writing test. It was a single open-ended question and was easy enough, but no one told me about it until it was starting.
Honestly, if I hadn't had connections within the company to give me a better sense of how things worked, I doubt I would have wanted the job. That said, I LOVE working at Edelman.
Several interviews, including a panel one. Hr screening followed by interview with hiring manager and then several VPs in the industry you’re interviewing for eg. Healtg, they ask a lot of technical and work related questions
I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. I had an initial call with an in-house recruiter. She scheduled me for two hours of back-to-back 30 min interviews the following week. I met with 4 people who mostly asked me the same questions, so it was a bit tiresome by the end of the 2 hours. I should mention that the hiring manager came off as condescending and I could tell he was messaging/emailing during our conversation. One of the interviewers told me that one of the head honchos over there uses the motto that being overworked is a "privilege." Honestly that sounds scary. I did not get an offer, and I was ok with that after meeting with these people.
He tenido varias entrevistas, incluyendo una con cliente. También tuve una presentación de una caso y prueba de personalidad. El proceso ha ido fluyendo, con oportunidad de hacer preguntas al empleador
