The interview process consisted of a HireVue interview followed by a final round interview with a talent manager and buyer. The final interview included standard behavioral questions as well as a case study portion. As someone looking to transition into the buying field with limited direct experience, I was hoping for a more conversational and supportive environment. Unfortunately, the interview felt intimidating at times, and I left feeling discouraged rather than evaluated fairly as an entry-level candidate. While the role itself seemed interesting, the experience negatively impacted my perception of the company and interview culture.

I was selected to complete a first round interview for the development program pretty soon after I applied. I completed the interview in time and reached out to the hiring manager as well. It has been over a week and my application status has not changed and I have not heard from the HM, curious if this is normal or if they usually reply sooner
