I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman in Aug 2013
Interview
Brief introductory phone chat with recruiter, followed by in-person interviews with executives. It was a fairly informal series of conversations, very relaxed and congenial. Since the job was newly created and without precedent, they weren't able or willing to say very much about what it would be like or what to expect. They didn't ask very much if anything about my past experience. It was designed more to get to know me and establish chemistry, which made it very comfortable.
The interview process was long and arduous. There were probably 6-7 interviews with HR and various people who work in the same practice. I didn’t interview with the person who would be my manager until the last round. Be sure to get any promises made during the process put in your employment contract otherwise it will not be honored even if you produce the correspondence.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your superpower and why would it be a value add?
Job description did not align with actual role. The hiring manager was very helpful and transparent however. It was a pleasant conversation. The expectations were clearly laid out of the interview process, timing, and role.
Short and a little disorganized but this was a few years ago now. Everyone was kind and smart and the office was nice. There was a little bit of hurry up and wait to the process. But that's not unusual.
