I interviewed at Mercury Public Affairs (New York, NY)
Interview
Friendly and conversational nothing unexpected or weird and it was run by previous interns who stayed on at the org. General career questions and interest in the role/ learning experience you wanted
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Mercury Public Affairs (London, England) in Jun 2020
Interview
First round and second round interviews on Zoom with the MDs (during the pandemic to be fair); a writing test; a team chemistry meeting; a long delayed meeting with a senior; eventually just didn't hear back; think the London office executed a team move shortly later. Overall a frustrating experience but I can see why it all happened that way in retrospect.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercury Public Affairs (New York, NY) in Apr 2022
Interview
Very straightforward and professional. Office is kind of hard to get to but overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend this position to anyone else. Office is kind of small and culture is professional.
