I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Brilliant Earth (Denver, CO) in July 2018
Interview
I had a phone screen with who I assumed with a Recruiter but actually ended up being someone in the group who I would have worked with if hired. He asked some of the weird sales questions that other people have mentioned on here... which I may have gotten incorrect because I was caught off guard and felt pressured to answer quickly. I feel like there were a few "weed out" questions that had nothing to do with my experience and skills as a Business Analyst - namely, multiplication on how many rings in a tray and what is 10.5% sales tax on a purchase. The interview otherwise went fine and I was still interested in the position despite the odd questions. I did not move forward in the interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about your experience with Excel, give an example of the VLOOKUP formula.
Not shown off in the interview. When I asked the reason why, they said like “Thank you for letting me know” like it was my fault ?!?!?!?!?! Later said to me the role had been filled.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Brilliant Earth (New York, NY)
Interview
I received an email requesting a phone interview about 3 weeks after applying. They scheduled it for 2 days from the time I replied. They asked why I was looking for a job, what I had accomplished to increase customer satisfaction other than the things on my resume and other similar standard questions. They asked 2 mental math questions and asked me not to use a calculator (but can use pen and paper). These were simple questions but make sure you are prepared mentally for this. I panicked here and made a silly mistake. They replied via email 2 business days later that they did not think I was right for the position. I can't blame them haha. Up next would have been a video interview.
