I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Edelman
Interview
First met with recruiter, then met with the hiring manager. The recruiter was well-informed about the role and was very candid in her responses to my questions. The hiring manager process was a straightforward discussion of my experience. I then met with two additional members of the team who I would supervise. The whole process took about 3 weeks.

Question 1
Questions were focused on my ability to understand and communicate very technical subject matter. Lots of questions about my management style and how I prefer to be managed. Several questions about client service and my comfort level with handling challenges.
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.

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.
