Interview
Had a phone call interview with a recruiter then was asked to play an online game called Skyrise City. Had 3 in-person interviews each lasting 30 minutes. The interviews consisted of behavioral, user experience and a case study.

Interview
45 Minute Phone interview with the recruiter, which I felt went extremely well. The recruiter also made it seem that they'd get back to me in a week, as to when to come in for the next round - but instead, received an email the next morning, with a rejection with a generic response. Waste of time, and inadequate reasoning.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mainly focused on my background and whether I had experience with category marketing for that particular category of interest.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Jet (Hoboken, NJ)
Interview
I didn't receive an offer and wouldn't receive a response to any requests for feedback due to volume. I came from a healthcare background and felt decently confident since there seem to be a heavy recruiting efforts right now. Everyone was nice (ran into the CEO Marc Lore as I walked in), and office building has a nice, clear view of Manhattan from across the river.
1: Phone Interview
A LinkedIn recruiter reached out to me and asked to set up a quick chat. It was supposed to be 10 mins. but ended up being a phone screen with behavioral questions at 30 mins.
2: Logic Games
Got an email 2 days after my phone screen asking me to download and complete a logic game. The app's called Skyrise City. It consists of 4 rounds that test memory and reaction speeds.
3: Onsite Interview
Got an email the next morning saying that I was invited for the final round interview at the Hoboken office. Three 30-45 min. interviews - 1 Behavioral, 1 UX Case, 1 Price Study Case. Among behavioral questions I've encountered, I'd say the ones asked during at Jet were on the less common (and therefore harder) end. The case studies were more like conversations, and the interviewers seemed to adjust their questions based on your answers. The last 10 mins. of the UX interview were rapid fire "personality" questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral:
Tell me about yourself.
A time you had to think outside the box?
A time you thought a problem was hard but had a simple fix?
UX Case:
(Product and Search Page of AAA batteries)
What are some improvements we can make to these pages?
How can we stop a downward spiral of prices? (If Jet lowers its price, then a competitor lowers its price in response to our price, etc. how do we stop that?)
Rapid fire round (2nd half of UX):
Favorite person?
Least favorite person?
How do you like your coffee?
How would your friends describe you?
Price Case Study:
Men's shoulder bag is sold on Amazon for $10 and in Walmart stores for $5. How should we price this on Walmart.com? Same product. Same company costs. The goal is to "make money".
