Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Altria (Austin, TX) in Mar 2013
Interview
I met up with a senior member who was in charge of recruiting and information, and sent him my resume. A couple of weeks later, I got a phone call from an even more senior member and they set up an interview time. You MUST prepare for this interview substantially. I kind of winged it and it was pretty obvious that I did so.
There were two interviewers, and they each had a series of questions. Whenever you'd answer something, they would write down just about everything you said down on their papers. The whole process must have taken about 15 minutes. After the interview, they send you out of the room and I'm fairly confident that they assign a number grade to each of the different questions and sections. Took them about 2 minutes. I asked some really dumb questions at the end of the interview and totally shot myself in the foot.
But in conclusion, research the possible questions very carefully and give very thorough and well thought-out answers to the questions they ask you.

They were very thorough with their interview questions. They asked me, "Why do you want to work here?" "Name a time you were successful at something and why."
I applied through college or 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

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
