I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. I had an initial call with an in-house recruiter. She scheduled me for two hours of back-to-back 30 min interviews the following week. I met with 4 people who mostly asked me the same questions, so it was a bit tiresome by the end of the 2 hours. I should mention that the hiring manager came off as condescending and I could tell he was messaging/emailing during our conversation. One of the interviewers told me that one of the head honchos over there uses the motto that being overworked is a "privilege." Honestly that sounds scary. I did not get an offer, and I was ok with that after meeting with these people.
He tenido varias entrevistas, incluyendo una con cliente. También tuve una presentación de una caso y prueba de personalidad. El proceso ha ido fluyendo, con oportunidad de hacer preguntas al empleador
