I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Beacon Partners in Feb 2012
Interview
Beacon has a long interview process, going through several conversations with recruiting/HR. There is then an interview with whoever will be your manager. If that goes well, they schedule a Skype interview with the next management level up. Following that, there may be more interviews before you get to negotiations on salary and benefits.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were no really unexpected or difficult questions. All were pretty standard for the industry.
I applied online. I interviewed at Beacon Partners
Interview
Very formal interview process. Interviewed twice on the phone and brought to Boston for a formal interview with HR and 2 VPs. HR rep was very nice and the VPs were very politie but also very direct. Additionally, I would recommend that the canidadates do research on the firm before going into the interview with the VPs.
