The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Spencer Stuart
Interview
An interviewer reached out to set up an initial phone call. On our call, she wanted to know more about my background and experience. Next I had a Zoom meeting with the same recruiter where we went further into "tell me about a time..." questions and experience with data. Following this, I had an hour Zoom interview with the team coordinator. She asked many experience-based questions and hypothetical "what would you do in this situation". She ended our call after only half the time saying she had everything she needed. The next day, I heard from the recruiter that the team coordinator would not like to move on with my application.
