Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed May 2011 in Overland Park, KS (took 4+ weeks)

Received a call from the hiring manager for the first 1:1 interview about a week after applying online. About a week after the first 1:1 interview, I was invited back for two separate interviews, one with an expert in the skills required for the position and another with the department head.

The 1:1 interviews were approx. 30-45 minutes in length which consisted of some questions about line items on my resume as well as business and management philosophy-type discussion. The interview with the expert consisted of looking at raw data and describing my approach to using this data to improve a specific portion of the process, with the requirement of discussing the use of specific tools.

Everyone I met with was very genuine and forthcoming. It felt like a comfortable conversation rather than a "test".

Negotiation Details

I was provided the job offer via phone from the HR representative, and after stating the salary and general benefits, was asked directly if I would accept or decline the offer. I did not feel that I had the option of negotiation, however the offer was within my target range, so I verbally accepted.

Other Details

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test and a Drug Test.

Interviewed Nov 2007 in Overland Park, KS (took a day)

Interview with ~7 managers and directors. Typical personality questions (tell me about a time when...). 30 minutes each. Some case studies on basic business analysis to identify process breakage, company strategy, what's going on the market, what you would have done to improve company positioning compared to competitors. They flew us in and gave us one night at Hilton.
