Interviewed Apr 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 3 months)
People were professional, courteous and very nice. Interview process was a bit lengthy, but organized. However, after initial phone interview and several in-person meetings that followed, it's now been over a month since last contact. After leaving several emails and voice mails, I haven't heard a word. Very disappointing for such a promising company.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I was first introduced to the company through a friend who was employed there. He put me in touch with the HR manager, with whom I then had a couple of phone interviews with. After this, they invited me into the office for a round of 1:1 interviews where they asked me about my resume, my experience with digital marketing, and why I was interested in digital offering. They gave me an offer soon after.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 4 weeks)
I initially took an aptitude test as my first screening round which they give you an hour to complete. I was expecting a personality test or something basic, but it was basically a whole bunch of advertising and math equations. If you're good at algebra, you're fine, but it took me way too long to figure out how simple it actually was, so I took the entire hour to the minute.
It took them about 10 days to offer me a phone interview, which I was really excited for and extremely prepared. Once talking to the recruiter, it was as if she was reading off of a script. She flushed through the "company description" in a really bored and unenthusiastic tone. Didn't she know she had to sell the company to me? Then, she asked me the same question twice, just rephrasing it. It was as if she couldn't remember if she had already asked it, so she just asked it again.
Overall, the interview was awkward and uncomfortable. Because of this, I ultimately decided to withdrawal from the application process.
Be prepared for UNDERprepared recruiters, and don't be afraid to ask questions, because if you think they are being confusing, THEY ARE!

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 4 weeks)
I took a test on excel & wrote a letter to the clients. It was fairly easy but was a little weird with the format to use formulas. I would suggest using formulas though, its a lot faster.
I passed that and had a phone interview.
They asked basic questions about my background and were interested in which of their products I was most interested in working with. I followed up a few days after the interview by asking another question. They answered as if I was a new applicant so I guess I didn't make the best impression and I also noticed they barely read my email, haha.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
I emailed the recruiter after seeing a job posting online. Someone responded to me immediately (a couple hours after my email) and informed me that the next step would be an online exam. I was glad I was given an appointment time for the test and felt I could easily get a response to any questions I had before or during the exam. In my opinion the test was difficult because the time restraints were strict and I had to do my best with excel documents (not one of my strong suits).
I had to email a couple of times in the following days to inquire about my results, since I was anxious to know if I'd made the cut, so to speak. I was contacted a few days later and told that I'd done well and they would like to schedule a phone interview. The interview went well and I felt the recruiter did a nice job of assessing my skills and personality, while also taking into account my personal aspirations for working at Rise.
I was emailed about a week later (which I was waiting for in nervous anticipation) and asked to come in for an onsite interview. The only negative thing at this point was that I was hoping that something positive was going to come out of this - since it was a very time-consuming process. (If it was a bad experience I would have wasted a lot of time and emotions. At the same time I am glad that Rise has a competitive and quality-based interview process, because as an employee I feel like I've really earned my place here.)
The onsite interview went well and I felt really comfortable talking with the recruiter and asking questions. The only thing I didn't like was that there was apparently an interviewee after me, because I was more or less shooed out after my half hour, and another person was taken into the office as I left. It just felt a bit like a 'take a number' situation.
A few days later I received a personal phone call with the job offer (I appreciated it wasn't just an email) which I accepted.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2+ weeks)
I applied for this job online and was contacted by the internal recruiter to schedule an interview with her and the team.
I met with the recruiter first, she was friendly, organized and gave me some great insight into the company. The VP of Operations was available so I met with him for about 30 minutes after. Again, very friendly and was able to give me a description of the company and culture from the view of senior management.
The CEO was out of the office that day so another interview was set up a couple weeks later. My conversation with him went extremely well and I received an offer later that evening.
Interviews can be daunting but everyone I spoke with at Rise made me feel comfortable and at ease. My interviews were more conversational and relaxed. I rated the interview as "Easy" but I think I made a great fit for the position, the company a great fit for me and I came prepared and was confident about my skills. I think this makes a huge difference in how difficult an interview can be.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 5 weeks)
I submitted my resume to Rise via Doostang and was emailed back asking to schedule a time to take a skills test that consisted of solving problems on an Excel spreadsheet and writing a letter with certain guidelines. It was a fairly straight forward exam, and they give you an hour to complete it. After that, HR emailed me and we scheduled an interview in their Chicago office.
I showed up a bit early, and the general atmosphere of the place was fairly busy. Most of the people working here seem to be in their 20's or early 30's, and it definitely has a youthful feel to the place. I ended up interviewing with five different people, and most of the questions were just common get-to-know-you questions to determine whether or not I was a good fit for the company. There was one process detail question thrown in, and after the interview they said I'd hear from them in a week or so.
It took about 10 days for them to get back to me, and we scheduled a phone interview that took place about three weeks after my in-person interview. About two weeks after that, I got an offer.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
I submitted my resume online at the Rise Interactive website. Almost immediately, I received and email from Human Resources telling me that I was an eligable candidate and that they would like me to take a skills test. I set up a time to take the skills test and took it a week later. The test consisted of two excel spreadsheets and a written test. The next day I received and email from HR stating that I passed the test and that they would like to move forward. I scheduled an interview for the next week. I interviewed with a girl from HR. It was a half hour interview and pretty basic. When it comes to the interview, it is important to know a lot about the company and why you would like to work there. A week later I received a phone call and email extending me an offer for the position. The whole interview process was smooth, timely, and professional.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
The interview process started out with an hour long timed skills test that I took from home. The test was a 3 part internet marketing skills test where I was required to calculate simple formulas like click through rates, conversion rates etc. It was simple math, and thankfully they give you the formulas to follow, so it's really just a matter of how fast can you do simple math. The first 2 parts of the skills test were similar formula calculations, then the 3rd part of the test required you to write a sample intro email to a new client.
Then after passing the hour long skills test, they invited me in for an interview. The interview process consisted of meeting with 3 different people on the team. Overall they asked me basic interview questions about my work experience etc, but I noticed a common theme between all 3 interviews where they would ask me off the wall questions to see what my thought process way.
After catching on to this, I asked one of my interviewers what kind of person they were looking for, and he explained that they like to hire analytical thinkers who are committed to excellence. So if that's you, then make sure you show that to them.
After about 2 hours of one-on-one interviews I was told they would be in touch.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 5 days)
I saw the job opportunity on LinkedIn. I sent my resume and received an email the following day telling me that they want to move forward with my application by taking the skills test. I scheduled a time and took the test. I was a bit rusty on some of the items on the test and was sure that things weren’t going so well. I finished the test and after the weekend I heard back from the HR Contact. It was a simple email saying that I didn’t pass the test—this was no surprise to me. What really impressed me was that the HR Contact supplied me with resources that I could use to learn more about online search campaigns. She even offered information about a recruiting agency that had helped her in the past. I really appreciated the extra value that she had added to the interview process—usually you just get the “form” letter saying that you were not accepted to move further. I’d love to learn more about Rise and this really made me feel like they respect and are thankful for those who want to join their team, even if it’s not the right fit at the moment.
