Interviewed Feb 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Very effiecent young interviewers. Great attitudes, although I believe that they should have other, more senior employees do the interviewing as they seemed to be too young to be judges of personal and professional character.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Boston, MA (took 4 days)
Got the interview through a Boston recruiter and was told that the company was interviewing two candidates for the position. Interviewed with two floor managers for about fifteen minutes which consited of personality questions and talk about local sports. Received a call from recruiter the next day with an offer.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was no negotation phase as the job was temp-to-hire. I was told that this was how they brought in all of their employees and after a 3-6 month trial period, there was either an offer or termination. Be very cautious of the temp-to-hire process, because it is risk free to the employer and there is no guaranteed time committment on when you will be hired.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Boston, MA (took 1 week)
I applied at BBH.com, got a call from HR within 3 days. Phone interviewed with HR, got called in, met with several teams from several departments. It was mainly a mixture of softball questions and actual technical questions to get a feel for what I knew. Unfortunately the job was represented online and initially by BBH as full benfit/full time, but in actually it is a contract to hire position. Everyone was very nice, but if you are going to post a job, post the REAL job description rather than baiting and switching on the the day of the in-person interview. It is a fact that many people will not even ATTEMPT to apply for any job that is not a permanent position.

Negotiation Details
There is no negotiation. I would strongly advise anyone applying here to ask if the job is a permanent position or temp to hire before shlepping yourself to their office.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Firstly, HR phone screening interview mainly reviewed background, qualifications, skills and salary expectations. After 2 weeks, I had 4 rounds of behavioral/informational interviews where the interviewers spoke of the company, the group and the role. Once again, all interviewers reviewed background, qualifications, skills and interest in the role. It was quite laid back for what one would normally expect.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Jersey City, NJ (took 4 weeks)
The Interview was fairly easy. Most of the time the interviewer spoke, explaining the job objectives and such. It was a laid back atmosphere and I felt extremely comfortable. I felt really well about the interview. It has now been 4 weeks and I have written a follow up email as well as left a message on the Interviewers phone. I have not received any word back.
