I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Affinitiv in Mar 2026
Interview
I completed the interview with their HR Hiring Manager, she hung up on me, was feeling unwell, and for the most part spoke the most during our conversation. She implied that the internship position would be a learning opportunity, and that she would get back to me one week later. It took me emailing them to finally get an update 3 weeks later. They also asked about my degree, and it made it feel like they didn't believe I wanted the role solely because it was not Human Resources related. Also I believe they looked down on my experience with work from a non-profit.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Affinitiv in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview process started with an initial recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview with a panel of about six team members over Google Meet. The panel interview lasted around 1.5 hours. Although it was described as a technical interview, most of the questions were behavioral and focused on past experience, teamwork, and how I approach testing challenges. The team was professional, but the session felt quite long for the type of questions asked. It would be helpful if the interview could be shorter or concluded earlier if the team feels the candidate may not be the right fit.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Affinitiv (Saint Clair Shores, MI) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process has been very organized and transparent. After applying online I was contacted by the HR manager and she scheduled a Teams Meeting interview with me. Stacy was extremely friendly and let me know at the end of the call that we were moving on to the next interview and I received the email confirmation for that interview before the end of the call. My next interview was with Cassie and she described the role more in depth and went over my background with me, we had a great conversation. Both of them were extremely informative and friendly. Both interviews were completed via Microsoft Teams. The team has maintained excellent communication, keeping me informed every step of the way. I am still in the process of interviewing but it has been a positive experience the entire way through.
