I applied online. I interviewed at Emma in Nov 2022
Interview
There are 3 stages of the recruitment process. The first is an online assessment test which is quite difficult to ace (numerical, intuitive and general test) that takes 45minutes and almost impossible to answer all 24 questions correctly. The second phase is a “pre-interview” with a random employer. The third and final stage is an interview day that might take from 2-3 hours with at least 2 people interviewing and a brief introduction of the company. I only got to the second interview and I did not enjoy the process at all. The interviewer did not care about any past experiences, and was just making pre-prepared questions to test how you work under pressure and if the reasoning matches what the company already expects from the employees, instead of embracing new perspectives. The first quiz was also quite hard, and I got above average scores even answering only half of the questions, so prepare beforehand and try to answer as quickly as possible. Overall I didn’t have a good experience, and raised a few red flags about work/life balance and how the company values its employees.

Question 1
If you were the CEO, what would be the first thing you would try to change?
Imagine you are the marketing manager. If you had to create a new product and partnership with another company, which product and company would you choose?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Emma (Lisboa, Lisboa) in Aug 2022
Interview
One assessment, two interviews: One with HR and one with the manager of the Italian market that was in charge of the team my internship would take place. The process was not super long but the rejection came after some weeks.

Interview
sometimes unclear communication (different contact person) but always very fast answers. The first steps are automatic tests and feel a bit redundant, but the later interviews are well prepared and thorough with interesting cases.
