I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Edelman
Interview
The interview process went extremely smoothly and I had a very positive experience with both HR and the team that I was applying for. It started with a brief phone screening which lasted about 20-30 minutes where they asked me basic PR interview questions (previous experience, why PR?, why Edelman?) and then I got a call about 3 days later asking me to come to the office. The in-person interview was with a VP and a team member for the specific account that I was applying for and again with the basic interview questions but more specific to the account. Got an email about a week later for availability for a writing test. The writing test included a pitch.

Question 1
What is one example of a situation where you found yourself in a difficult situation? How did you solve the problem?
Fairly extensive process, you speak with HR, then you speak with at least three if not four or even five people in a series of three-ish interviews. For scheduling, they're pretty quick but you're at the mercy of the interviewers' schedules.
