I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Altria (Saint Louis, MO) in Mar 2020
Interview
I received an interview opportunity to complete a viedo interview. Very easy and I passed to round 2 for a panel interview. This was mainly basic behaivioral based, and in my mind a huge waste iof time. Listen company - everyone has a time when we all did this, or experienced this. This is fine for out-of-college kids, but for expertised candidates, enough.
The case interview was easy as well. You were only given 10 minutes to look over the case and sell a product, plain and simple. Listen gang - I've trained 50 sales associates in a prior managerial role selling $95 bottles of moisturizer ($480k a year in products - Selling $1.48 pack of cigarettes to a gas station doesn't take a genious.
Don't waste your time with this company. They've drug me through 2 of these interviewing processes in 9 months and apparently they don't understand a resume.
STAY FAR AWAY and don't waste your 4 weeks.
Pease read the current employee reviews. I can now see why they waste peoples time.

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
