I applied online. I interviewed at Altria in Feb 2013
Interview
Applied online and received called within 3 hours to set-up phone interview for 4 days later. Phone interview was fairly detailed. Received call 2 weeks later for a panel interview with 4 people. Expected to last about 1 1/2 hours. I was told that first 30 minutes would be a writing assignment to see how I think. Not sure what that is about, but will update after panel interview has been completed.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Altria (Gainesville, FL)
Interview
3 interview rounds - 1 with recruiter, 1 virtual, and 1 virtual panel interview. Took a few months to get an offer. Lots of periods of silence and some people told me it took 6 months or so for the whole process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you pitch your sales story to this specific client?
First step was to answer screening questions and submit a resume. Second step was a pre recorded interview where you had to record yourself answering several questions and respond in writing about salary expectations.
3 steps - Behavioral, case study, and shadowing a manager. Very casual interview process. Focus on the STAR method and it'll be fine. For the case study you have to sell in a product by influencing the prospect with data and insights they provide
