I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Kepler Group (Oakland, CA) in Aug 2017
Interview
After completing my application online, I was contacted by a talent acquisition specialist. We coordinated a time for my initial phone screening. The phone screening was a 30 minute, informal conversation with a senior analyst about my background, Kepler, and my favorite ad campaigns. A few days after the screening, I received an e-mail asking that I submit my availability for an in person interview at the SF office. At the interview, I spoke with a recent O&I hire, as well as with a senior analyst. Initially, I spoke about my background and conducted a brief data test via Excel. With the senior analyst, I ran through a hypothetical marketing scenario to test my marketing intuition. Finally, I presented a topic of my choosing (which I planned for prior to coming in) to a panel of 4 employees. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, although I did not receive an offer.

Question 1
Sort this data from most effective campaign to least effective campaign.
After an initial phone interview, I flew out to be interviewed in person. The process was involved but I appreciated how thoroughly they approached the process. I met individually with different team members in person that had followed similar paths to one I would take as well as people I would work with everyday. I also had to complete an excel test, a brainstorm exercise, and give a presentation.

I applied online. I interviewed at Kepler Group in Oct 2020
Interview
Very standardized, interviewers were very unmotivated and somewhat unprofessional; Was not a personal process at all and I did not feel like I was being interviewed properly as they were very disengaged with what I had to say and what I prepared for the interview. I think they already hired someone else while I was interviewing which was a huge waste of time for the both of us... after the interview I wasn’t sure if this company was even legit or not.

I applied online. I interviewed at Kepler Group (New York, NY) in Oct 2020
Interview
Interview process was thorough and informative. First was a 30 minute discover call with a Senior Analyst with typical interview questions around digital marketing, strengths/weakness, etc. Second interview was with 2-3 additional Senior Analysts: a behavioral (15-20 min), marketing case study (25-30 min), data analysis test (20 min), and then a 5 minute presentation about anything. Third interview was 30 minutes with a Director, mostly behavioral and why you want to work at Kepler. I waited about 2 weeks from that final interview to receive an offer. HR was communicative throughout. Great process with lots of opportunities to ask questions.
