Online interview with HR and users. HR just moderating while users ask all the questions. The questions quite general but require an specific answer. You need to smile and showcase "can do" personality.
Talked to 2 people who worked there. Only 1 interview cycle, with two back-to-back interviews on the same day. Both interviewers asked fairly difficult, in-depth questions that went beyond surface-level experience and really tested how you think. A mix of behavioral and situational questions, with some pressure to explain your reasoning clearly.
After the written application which was just a resume and some typical questions, there were two interviews in a row with people on the team. They were online back to back.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mattel (El Segundo, CA)
Interview
It was a simple process, mostly behavioral questions. Very straightforward and fast turn around time. They were very communicative about the process and timelines regarding decisions. I did not get any technical questions in my interview.
