Interview
The interview process was straightforward and well-organized. Communication from the recruiter was timely, and the expectations were clear throughout. Everyone I spoke with was professional and courteous. Overall, it was a positive experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you walk me through a campaign or project you led, and explain how you measured its success?
A series of interviews over a month with different members of the team and HR. Enjoyed speaking with everyone and secured the job! Also submitted a writing assignment during the process.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Edelman (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2023
Interview
I had one interview with HR - she said she believed my background would be an excellent fit. We spoke on a Wednesday, and she said she would be back in touch on Friday. Which Friday remains to be seen. FFS!
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Edelman
Interview
I met with a recruiter for a phone screen, and then had two video interviews with senior team members. There was some lag time between interviews, and I had to follow up with the recruiter I was working with to meet the second person after he had a scheduling conflict. I thought the interviews went well, and the recruiter let me know I had moved on to the next round. I was travelling abroad at the time, but didn't want to miss out on the opportunity, so I moved my schedule around to take third and fourth interviews with members of the leadership team.
I didn't hear back from the recruiter after the last interview, so I reached out and she said she would get back to me with news by the end of that week. Nothing. Two weeks later, I sent an email to close the loop because I had other offers pending, which didn't receive a reply.
It was surprising because I think on both sides, we were fairly candid and engaged throughout the process, and I enjoyed the conversations at the time. This role was for a newer unit so I understand the disorganization to some extent, but the lack of respect for my time really soured me on Edelman. (I ended up in a senior marketing role for a tech company in the same vertical.)
