Entrevista
The office is very small - 100/200 people max. It's a small company within a mega corporate behemoth. I interviewed with the entire marketing management teams because it's small and I would ultimately be working with everyone. Standard questions, nothing out of the ordinary. They in no way tried to trick me or tested me. If they already decided they liked me, they stopped asking questions and we started talking about other things (kids, tv shows, partners etc.). I would say this was very relaxed and they make you feel very comfortable.

Entrevista
I was first invited for a back-to-back interview with two different people. I spoke with one interviewer for about 30 minutes and then a different interviewer for 30 minutes (senior manager and marketing director). They were both very friendly and the questions were not too difficult. I was then invited for a second round (final round) interview from a specific team (in this case, the hot wheels group). Again, it was about an hour and had 2 different interviewers back-to-back (associate managers of global brand marketing). It was not too difficult, questions were standard, and I felt like it went well.
I didn't receive an update after two weeks and decided to follow up. I finally got a response from the recruiter who said I was not selected. I wish they had informed me earlier, as they probably wouldn't have contacted me for a long time had I not followed up.
Overall, I had a pretty good experience and they were very organized but was disappointed because I was not selected for the internship.

Great Experience! Each person I spoke with was nice and courteous, very informative. I applied online and received an email from the hiring manager. Had a 30 min phone call and then scheduled a 30 min call with the manager of the dept. Felt like i had a good interview. 1 week later they let me know they went with someone with more experience. I felt that was fair and appreciated them getting back to me in a timely manner.

I interviewed at their office in March 2018 after applying through my school job board. I had two 30 minute one-on-one interviews back to back with two different hiring managers.
It was mostly a lot of behavioral questions, varying in difficulty.
I heard back about a week later with no offer. Case question on analyzing a toy was unexpected, and I know I completely bombed that.
