I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Edelman (New York, NY) in Aug 2021
Interview
Reached out to talent acquisition. Had a half hour discussion about my job experience and the specifics for the position I applied for. Second interview was with actual team member and lasted about an hour. Discussed all aspects of the job. Pretty informal and a good discussion.
The interview process was long and arduous. There were probably 6-7 interviews with HR and various people who work in the same practice. I didn’t interview with the person who would be my manager until the last round. Be sure to get any promises made during the process put in your employment contract otherwise it will not be honored even if you produce the correspondence.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your superpower and why would it be a value add?
Job description did not align with actual role. The hiring manager was very helpful and transparent however. It was a pleasant conversation. The expectations were clearly laid out of the interview process, timing, and role.
Short and a little disorganized but this was a few years ago now. Everyone was kind and smart and the office was nice. There was a little bit of hurry up and wait to the process. But that's not unusual.
