Red Ventures Analyst interview questions

The interview process was pretty straightforward. They actually ended up calling me after my resume was on file for a couple years. I showed up for the interview and was given a quick tour of the office which was pretty impressive, but for a bunch of analysts it reminded me more of a call center. I interviewed with three people one-on-one and the questions asked were pretty detailed and annoying. They were asking things that were detailed and what could have been considered borderline proprietary to my past employers. The final person I interviewed with asked some weird hypothetical questions that conveniently left out key information. The most annoying part was having to calculate things on the fly in your head. Simple math, but you can tell they just want to see how you react to stress. When asked my salary requirements I was given some wishy washy answer and I have a very good feeling that my salary range was above what they had hoped by their reaction. Overall, a complete waste of my time and a half vacation day.

I was first invited in for a so-called informational interview and met with two people, spent about 30 mins with each of them talking about my background and why I was interested in the job. I got a call two days later to come in for a second round next week. On my second round, I had four individual interviews and was mostly asked behavioral and resume-based questions plus a few small case questions such as "how many windows are there in Charlotte?" I was also given an Excel sheet on a laptop and asked to analyze it by myself for 45 minutes and then explain it. After the second round, I've got a call a few days later asking me in for a third round. I again had three individual interviews and was asked the same questions over and over again. I met with one of the partners this time and he asked me a logic/math question. I then met with two other people who asked me many smaller case questions. I was hoping that the third round was going to be the last but they invited me in for a fourth round and the reason they gave me for this was that they were trying to figure out which analyst position (marketing analyst or sales operations analyst) I would make a better fit for. I naturally assumed that they were willing to hire me but just needed to decide on the position. Oh well, I went in for a fourth round and had three more individual interviews (if you are counting, it totals up to 12 interviews now). Same questions over and over again. A few more cases, one of them was "how many planes are now in the sky?" And after all this, what do you think happened? They told me they decided that I wasn't a good fit for the company and that took them 12 interviews! Wow, what a waste of my time and energy!
