Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 6 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Edelman (Houston, TX) en ago 2013
Entrevista
I applied online and had my resume forwarded to the recruiter in California through 2 professional recommendations in my network at Edelman. The overall process took about 6 weeks and was one of the worst interview experiences.
1. The hiring manager was difficult and unprofessional. After jumping through the skills and tests hoops, she refused to give proper and actual feedback to the recruiter who was continually missing connections with her due to her poor work ethic and "workload".
2. All emails and followups were pretty much ignored by the hiring manager, especially 4 weeks into the process, despite numerous requests from the recruiter
3. A good candidate does not stand a chance at this company, especially if they have double the experience of the hiring manager, if they are an extremely qualified minority OR if they live in a market whose Edelman office is pretty much devoid of any color above AE or administrative assistant status.
4. Feedback was an ordeal. NONE was given! The only feedback was the ongoing conversation regarding "finding the best fit".

None, the interview was pretty standard. Hiring manager seemed more interested in how I had developed my professional relationships within Edelman then me.
A series of interviews over a month with different members of the team and HR. Enjoyed speaking with everyone and secured the job! Also submitted a writing assignment during the process.

I had one interview with HR - she said she believed my background would be an excellent fit. We spoke on a Wednesday, and she said she would be back in touch on Friday. Which Friday remains to be seen. FFS!

Entrevista
I met with a recruiter for a phone screen, and then had two video interviews with senior team members. There was some lag time between interviews, and I had to follow up with the recruiter I was working with to meet the second person after he had a scheduling conflict. I thought the interviews went well, and the recruiter let me know I had moved on to the next round. I was travelling abroad at the time, but didn't want to miss out on the opportunity, so I moved my schedule around to take third and fourth interviews with members of the leadership team.
I didn't hear back from the recruiter after the last interview, so I reached out and she said she would get back to me with news by the end of that week. Nothing. Two weeks later, I sent an email to close the loop because I had other offers pending, which didn't receive a reply.
It was surprising because I think on both sides, we were fairly candid and engaged throughout the process, and I enjoyed the conversations at the time. This role was for a newer unit so I understand the disorganization to some extent, but the lack of respect for my time really soured me on Edelman. (I ended up in a senior marketing role for a tech company in the same vertical.)
