Associate, Technology at Acquity Group
No Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Oct 2012 – Reviewed Mar 7, 2013
Interview Details –
It was a long and very elaborate process. Initially the HR kept updating the status regularly, but once the onsite interview was over, they failed to get back if they had a positive decision or not.
First round was on campus. Where they actually have flash cards and ask you to choose one of them. Each contain a case.
The one that I picked was on product pricing. They asked me to help a furniture store to brand and sell their products on a website I was designing. They went through my thought process and saw how I did it.
I was then invited to their office in Chicago for the final round. Long day. Had a bunch of people. It was a round robin fashioned interview where they constantly had you switching rooms. Initial round was with one senior mgmt personnel (completely situation and behavioral round); next was with a current associate (again non-technical and behavioral); third round was technical (simple poker game implementation apart from the fact that the manager was unclear in most of his questions)
By late noon, HR gave a tour of their office.
Interview Question – Implement a poker card game with Java Answer Question

Associate at Acquity Group
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Sep 2012 – Reviewed Feb 1, 2013
Interview Details – I had two phone interviews - one with the recruiter who initially reached out to me through LinkedIn, and one with the hiring director in my division. I then came in for an office interview the next week and met with 5 different interviewers over the course of 2 hours. There was also a short written "test" which is basically to make sure you can write well and put sentences together without glaring grammatical errors.
Interview Question – The most difficult question was probably "Where do you see the biggest opportunity for digital growth in the next 5-10 years?" Answer Question
Negotiation Details – They offered me the very top of my "desired salary" range that I initially gave to the recruiter, which was a 25% increase from my salary at my previous job, so I didn't negotiate although I know it is possible.

Sales at Acquity Group
No Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Dec 2012 – Reviewed Dec 11, 2012
Interview Details – The order went as follows: college event, phone interview, personality test (done at home), personal interview. I was pretty shocked at how informal everyone was. I interviewed with 4 people total: 1 VP, 1 manager, and 2 associates and I was pretty shocked by their lack of interviewing skills. I felt that throughout all 4 interviews I had control over the interview(s) because those interviewing me either: went off on unrelated tangents, didn't manage their time according to HR's schedule, or didn't ask the right questions.
Interview Question – How did you finance your college education? Where else are you applying and for what position(s)? Answer Question
