first round was the usual getting to know you (background & interests) and somewhat a behavioral interview. second round a 30 min short exercise and 30 min call to discuss it.

The interview process was extremely laborious — and unnecessarily so at that. While the application, initial screening call, and 1-hour case study were all reasonable, the final round case study was disproportionately demanding. It was framed as a 4-hour assignment but ended up taking far longer because it asked for a comprehensive, well-researched campaign strategy for a product launch. For a role that emphasizes learning and mentorship (and is significantly undercompensated), the expectations felt excessive. Completing the assignment without extensive use of online resources (which they permitted) would have been nearly impossible. Additionally, there was a lot of ambiguity around the final interview itself; it wasn’t clear whether it would focus on presenting the case study or answering more behavioral questions, which made the latter half of the process unnecessarily stressful.
