Declined Offer – Interviewed in Washington, DC Mar 2013 – Reviewed Apr 25, 2013
Interview Details – went through standard phone interview and then came in for a second round of interviews in DC and the next day got called back for a writing exercise and to meet a few more people. The questions were pretty standard interview questions, nothing that you can't prepare for but you should prepare. All friendly and warm people and they were excited about what they do and answering questions that you had about the company.
Interview Question – How do you prioritize situations if you are given more than one thing that is important at once? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I had another job offer that had a significant increase in salary and benefits but would have gladly accepted a position here.

Interview Details – The interviewer didn't even ask that many questions. It was all background and even though I knew how to do a lot of the things she wanted experience in, she didn't seem to care. It was generally easy but other than asking me if I knew a few computer applications, there wasn't much more of a job description.

Interview Details –
Applied online for an entry-level position and was contacted approximately 2 weeks later. Scheduled an interview for the following week.
Drove over 6 hours for the interview in D.C. What a waste of time! Practically a cattle call, I was at least the 20th interview of the day and it was only mid-morning. The recruiter and associate that interviewed me seemed bored from the beginning. They were very fake and condescending. They were so rude to me that I didn't even understand why they had me come in for an interview, when they didn't like me from the start of the interview.
Pros: Quick turn-around (I had a no thanks letter days later), great DC location in the middle of everything, fancy office, young staff
Interview Question – Tell me about a research paper or project you completed in college. View Answer
