Information Architect at Razorfish
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Aug 2012 – Reviewed May 15, 2013 New
Interview Details – From the day I submitted by resume, to the day I received the phone call informing me that I was hired the process took less than a month. Interviews were progressive (building from an initial recruiting screening--with an excellent recruiter I might add--moving to an over-the-phone conversation with a more senior level UX employee, and ending in a full in-person interview for which I was flown out), and each person I spoke with was professional, personable, and informative. They've really got this interviewing thing down to a science.
Interview Question – The most difficult part for me to grasp was the company's overall lack of interest for reviewing my work during the in-person interview. The in-person was a very much "get to know you" / "get to know the company" sort of thing, which is great, but a bit jarring at first, especially when fully prepared to, in a sense, "present" my work.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oct 2011 – Reviewed Mar 8, 2013
Interview Details –
Got a call from the HR. HR was excellent, very interested in getting to know you and very responsive. Followed up with interviews and emails on the same day, and made sure you were comfortable. After HR round, I had a phone interview with the VP. Showed thought leadership immensely.
Had a case study presentation to a panel which posed questions, followed by 1:1 interviews with heads of cross-functional teams. 1:1 interviews were more generic and behavioral based

Administrative Assistant at Razorfish
No Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Dec 2012 – Reviewed Jan 4, 2013
Interview Details – Very positive 15 min phone interview was asked for an in-person interview. Due to scheduling and illness only met with 2 of 4 people I was supposed to interview with. The recruiter was very friendly and prompt. Met with an Executive Assistant and a Senior VP had a very nice conversation. Did not receive a job offer because they changed the job description to +5 years experience versus my 3 years experience. Overall wonderful, young environment, wish I got the job!
Interview Question – pretty standard line of questioning. Answer Question
