I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mattel (El Segundo, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
It has taken maybe 3-4 weeks as I began right before the Christmas/New Years holiday. I was referred by someone that already works there to a recruier. After going over my resume they gave me a call and we had a roughly 30 min conversation on my background/qualifications. She was recruting for an AMM role and advised me she would forward my resume to the hiring manager (even though I was not as analytical as they usually see for this role). I then had about a 30 min conversation with the hiring manager a few days later where we talked more about my background and fitness for the role.
After that I wwas brough in for 3 interviews, 30 mins each. 1 with my boss (who I had already spoken to), 1 with my counterpart in the same position on my team, and the last with the Director (my boss' boss). Overall the questions seemed standard, although the Director did ask me to sell her a water bottle (that was fun). Other than that pretty standard.

Interview
Phone call with HR first to go through basics information. The second interview is with the hiring manager and took around 45 minutes. I didn’t get to more rounds as they do not sponsor for visa.
