Developer at Babson College
No Offer – Interviewed in Babson Park, MA Nov 2010 – Reviewed Dec 11, 2010
Interview Details –
Interviewed on the phone. I think the main purpose of which was just to discover that I'd done the things I claimed I'd done on my resume.
Drove in, registered my car with campus police, everyone on campus was really nice. Looked like a campus in Massachusetts in Fall. In other words, idyllic. Being there, it's easy to forget there's other countries that aren't as fortunate.
The interview itself was fantastic. Really felt like I knocked it out of the park. Just some guys talking about web solutions.

Manager at Babson College
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Jan 8, 2013
Interview Details – After the initial phone screen, I met with the department head for the first round interview. For the second round, I met with additional senior leadership members as well as potential colleagues so I could ask direct questions about what the job was "really like". (It was great to have them clearly state that.) I also met with HR. Everyone from the receptionist up was great to speak with and so warm and approachable. You really get a sense that they care about the people who work there. The company culture really shines.

Assistant Registrar at Babson College
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Jun 2011 – Reviewed Jul 30, 2011
Interview Details – I was contacted by the department head (my current boss) for an initial phone interview. She was friendly and put me at ease. I then was scheduled for an in person interview. First I met with the human resources department where they went over the benefits that were offered. They then took me to the department I would be working for to meet with the prospective boss. Again, she was incredibly pleasant, treated me with respect and told me a lot about the job. After meeting with her I met with the team for more of a meet and greet. Overall the entire process was positive and could tell just how Babson feels about their employees. I left with a dunkin donuts gift card from the human resources as a thank you for coming in. I never felt so "loved" from any other company.
Interview Question – No overally difficult questions were asked. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I accepted the initial offer so negotiation was not done.
