I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mindbody (San Luis Obispo, CA) in May 2019
Interview
I applied about 7 different times over the past couple years for this position. The only time I got interviewed was with a referral application. I was given a brief phone interview, and then a video interview. I was initially told the second interview would be a phone interview, so when I was asked if there was video, I had to figure that out on the spot, and awkwardly hold my phone up for 30 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was a difficult situation you experienced in the workplace and how did you deal with it.
It's quite a long process. I went through 5 interviews - one with HR, then with the immediate supervisor, then there were 3 panel interviews of 30mins each. There was also a cognitive test and a technical test to create a landing page and paid ad following their brand guidelines.
The interviews were pretty straightforward and all the people involved were very kind and welcoming.
I got through the final interview after almost 4 weeks of the process, and received an email 7 days later stating they had chosen another candidate.
No problem there, but I did send an email to HR asking for feedback, after all, they had plenty of time to know me and pinpoint what I could've done better. I got no response whatsoever. That was pretty frustrating after such an extenuating process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Mindbody (San Luis Obispo, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
Typical HR screening interview followed by a timed Cognitive test that they video record you taking. Next, a Personality test.
Next set of Interviews was with Creative Director.
Third and final set of interviews were with three of the creative team members. A half hour interview with each. Very informal.
All interviews were done over the phone or via Zoom.
Long process about 6 weeks of interviews but a good experience
