I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Mattel (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Very quick and down to the point with hiring manager. Only thing I wish managers would read your resume ahead of time rather than have you summarize. Needed more time to ask more questions, felt very rushed.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mattel
Interview
The interview process was fairly fast paced. I enjoyed getting to know the teams. Phone interview focused mostly on interest and availability. After that, I interviewed with 3 different teams, but ultimately was not offered a position based on having low experience level. However, the interview process was delightful and everyone was so nice and had great advice and comments along the way on portfolio.
