I met the COO, Bryan Lewis, at a career fair at my university. He seemed happy to explain the company's role to me, even though I had originally thought it was a head-hunting/recruiting company. I made it clear that I had no experience in business, and he in return made it clear that they were looking for a wide range of skill sets. That 20-minutes conversation felt like a first interview.
2-3 weeks later, I got a call to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was fairly brief (25 minutes). The interviewer asked about my high school to college transition, about a time I had a team experience with a difficult team member, and about a time I received a difficult assignment from a boss or professor. He ended the interview by asking about my availability for "Super Days," their in-office interview.
I never received a call about Super Days, so I called my phone interviewer and left a message to check in. Probably two days later, HR called me to set up the interview. As my dad always says, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."
My Super Day was exhausting, challenging, but overall enjoyable. I first met the other interviewees while we were waiting, and it seemed they all had a leg up on me (better university, more relevant studies, more diverse histories), but they were friendly. We split up in to separate conference rooms. During the first "half" I met with two women who asked me behavior- and competency-based questions - some of which were very hard to answer - and we did a case study. I had never done a case study of any kind before, but they were clear that there was no expectation of prior experience in that department.
I had a short break, then met with two more interviewers, who asked more competency-based questions. Both "halves" ended with me asking questions about Third Bridge.
I received an offer by phone the next day.
