I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Edelman (New York, NY)
Interview
I went through four rounds of interviews and talked with ten different people before getting rejected without feedback. Completed a writing test as well as a couple of mock scenarios. Everyone I interviewed with was fairly nice, however, I had a negative impression based on more than several mentions of the "very specific personality types" they were looking for. Cultish environments aren't uncommon in agency settings but Edelman seemed a bit extreme from the get go.

Interview
Talent acquisition was very communicative throughout the entire interview process. They were super clear on next steps and overall organized setting up following interview rounds. They gave reason/feedback as to why I wasn't selected in the end — which was really helpful and I appreciated.

Pasa por reclutamiento. de forma agil te pasan a entrevista con los lideres del area y posterior finalizas con entrevista con deputy manager y RRHH, en mi caso el proceso fue muy rápido pero he llegado a escuchar que tienden a demorar un poco más
