Advisory Board Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Submitted application online, was contacted about a week later for phone interview with the HR, some unexpected questions during the phone interview but received email about 10 days later saying I did not move forward in the interview process

Interview Details – Position was with Research and Insights.

Originally applied for another position, was contacted the same day for this one. I then had a phone interview scheduled within the week. The phone interview was experiential and only about 15 minutes long -- questions included "why did you pick your college?" and "how has your writing changed overtime?". The call was in the morning, I was contacted for a second interview by 4pm. I was then flown to DC and had an in-person interview. I met with one individual for an experential, hour-long interview...lots of questions based on fit. My second interview was a case interview, which I bombed. I was told before I did the writing test that the person I was supposed to meet with in the afternoon "was sick". I heard another candidate told that the person was "in a meeting". I completed the hour and a half writing test and kind of just wandered out. Needless to say, two weeks later I got an email saying that I wasn't selected.

Interview Details – All first interviews are run through Career Management. They vet you first and if you are a strong candidate, you then go through a series of interviews in 30 minute segments with 4 or 5 leaders. This is for the Associate Director level and above - not sure about lower level positions.

Negotiation Details – Always negotiate! I did not at first and it was very hard to negotiate once I accepted the position.

Interview Details – Applied for the job online. About four days later received an invitation for a phone interview. I appreciate their quick response.

Interview Details – Applied via a referral from a former employee. I was contacted for a phone interview. That was almost two months after I initially applied, but it was over the holiday season so I think they weren't being as proactive with hiring. After my phone interview, I was invited out to an in-person. My contact was a little slow scheduling the interview, but they paid my travel costs. The in-person interview consisted of two case-style interviews and a writing test. I was also scheduled for a tentative third interview but I didn't get that far. My friend who referred me said that only candidates who they like after the first two interviews get a third interview.

Interview Details – Very quick emailing which was nice, and quickly set up a phone interview. Phone interview was very basic, behavioral questions, explaining my resume. asked some odd questions, like she was reading a checklist but adlibbing the question. No offer, no explanation why and no interview feedback.

Interview Details – I applied online and received a request for a phone interview one week later. The questions were mostly standard, walk-through-your-resume questions, but one thing that surprised me was that the interviewer kept asking questions about the challenges of various past internships (included those that were unrelated to what the position entailed) and academic research experiences. I had expected one or two, but not four so it definitely seemed like the interviewer was hunting for something specific. The interviewer also seemed very distracted while I was talking to her which was off-putting.

Interview Details – 1) On-campus interview
2) on-site interview with 3 individuals (2 behavioral, 1 case), and one written case

Interview Details – To be honest it was quite confusing. I originally applied to the Dedicated Advisor position when I received a call (voicemail) saying they'd like to interview me for the Business Analyst position. When I called the recruiter back to set up a time for the interview he told me it was for the Business Analyst position and that they would also consider me for the Dedicated Advisor. The phone interview was fairly quick. He informed me about ABC and wanted to know about my current work. There weren't any inquisitive questions though. I was then asked to email a writing sample. About 2 months later I received a call saying I had been invited for an in-person interview for the next week..which was only a few days before X-Mas. Then later that day I received an email saying that instead , I was to have another phone interview so it was set up for the end of the week. The quy interviewing was very hardcore and it turned out he was interviewing me for a position I had not even applied to! I received an email a month later saying I had not gotten the position.

Overall it was very unorganized and disappointing.
