Scheduling didnt work out so I have my third and final interview over the phone as well. Whole process took about a month and then the background took about two weeks. Typical interview questions nothing two technical.

Negotiation Details – Accepted the initial offer did not try and negotiate.

Interview Details – I initially applied to Hewitt Associates through the career center at my university. The process was very smooth from start to finish as the HR personnel really knew how to communicate effectively. Both phone and in-person interviews were behavioral as asked questions about my resume, background, and educational program. The latter occurred at their office and consisted of three-30 minute interviews with various associates. I accepted the offer as a summer analyst and was beyond pleased with the overall experience and caliber of the individuals in the practice. They are a very friendly group of individuals with an extensive knowledge of benefits consulting that deliver great work to clients.

Interview Details – in general, people are very nice at hewitt. the atlanta office has very nice lobby but don't be fooled cuz the office space is pretty crappy. free parking is a plus. lots of resturants to eat around the office. depends on the group you will be working for, some groups are casual and outgoing and some are pretty boring (like mine).

Negotiation Details – i was about to negotiate for higher sign on bonus but not base salary.

Interview Details – Phone interview was conducted for about 2 hrs by three different associates, interview process to evaluate associate's behavior handling projects and relevent experience managing mutilple projects, coordinating work between project teams, and benefits information technology...working among different control accounts, what was the most challnging situations, feedback given to other associates etc.

Interview Details – The interview process was fairly striaghtforward. I initially met with the HR/recruiter who asked very basci screening questions about my work history, gaps in employment and interests. I was then forwarded over to see a practice leader who delved more into my grasp of human capital theory and practices. After this interview I met with various members of the practice and was asked more "fit" related questions. We all then went to lunch in their "free" cafeteria onsite.

Reason for Declining – Didn't like the culture or the salary offer.

Interview Details – Professional interviewer

Reason for Declining – Not enough money

Interview Details – Very personable, professional interviewers. Met with two HR reps and one mid level manager. I was given many general questions about my leadership experience, analytic skills, mathematic and statistical background, as well as qualitative work I've done. They seemed less impressed with qualitative work and more interested in how I've use Excel

Interview Details – I was working as a customer service associate and applied for the operations adminstrator role.

Negotiation Details – nothing

Interview Details – The interview process was very tedious, its all about thinking of specific examples of when you did something.. Always Keep in mind STARR - Situations, Tasks, Actions, Results, Reflection.. and you will do just fine. Give specific details. and walk them through your entire process.

Reason for Declining – Hewitt still wants to work you to death and not pay for your efforts, asa former employee I know the politics involved, many of the people there are stuffy, and they preach about work/life balance but give you grief about time off. Like any other job its all about who you are connected with. If you are in the right circles things will be great for you, if not, you'll more than likely be miserable.
