I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Wpromote, LLC (El Segundo, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
I found their website months ago through indeed.com but never waited until I got more experience before applying. After, I applied directly through their website. Heard back within a few days to schedule a phone interview. That went well, and was brought into an in-person interview later that week. The following week, Wpromote reached out and offered me a position.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wpromote, LLC (El Segundo, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Two step Interview process. I was referred so there may be more steps normally, but I was interviewed by Wpromote's HR over the phone. She was not intimidating and very friendly, asking all the normal interview questions with nothing out of left field. After that I was scheduled for an in-person interview at their El Segundo office. Fortunately it was close enough that I could stop by during lunch. The office is very casual and mostly young professionals. I was interviewed by the COO and a Director of the PPC department. Both were really knowledgeable and asked me to elaborate on my experience with detailed examples. They also answered all my questions honestly and were quick to admit both their strengths and weaknesses as a company. The entire process took a bit under an hour.
Afterwards I was sent an Excel file with hypothetical campaign statistics and was given two days to describe in detail what steps I would take to improve it.

Question 1
Like many, I had Excel as a skill on my resume, so they asked for specific examples of my expertise and how that helped me to become a better Media Buyer.
