My interview process went as follows: 1. 30-minute screening call with recruiter 2. 1-hour call with a current consultant involving JavaScript function reading and a brain teaser 3. 2 30-minute calls with directors of consulting 4. 1 15-minute technical presentation with 15 minutes left over for Q&A 5. 1 30-minute call with the vp of consulting I received positive feedback for my technical and presentation skills. However, there is a greater emphasis on whether or not you'd fit in the company culture and whether or not you're someone who just tells them what they want to hear about the culture. The actual consultants were straightforward about their job (which I liked) while the directors seemed to think their jobs and the ~company perks~ were more important than they really were (which I did not like). Overall, I think it was a lot of time and effort invested for the generic rejection email that I received and for the salary range that was being offered.

I wasn’t offered a position and I’m happy about it because to be honest by the time I left the interview I had already decided it was a firm NO from me. I’m not bitter about it, the experience was superficially pleasant enough and there were a lot of good things about the company but the glaring negatives were too much to concede to. Pros The company benefits are above and beyond stellar, it’s a mid sized company with an impressive client list. The location is pretty great, really close to Union Station. The workers are superficially kind enough and it’s a very young workforce. Cons The Denver office is literally all white men and one white woman: POC, straight up, it’s unwelcoming- fair warning. It was a whole Get Out moment. They put on a nice show at first but steadily throughout the day the thinly veiled micro aggressions made the alarms start sounding off. POC: It’s the kind of culture that will end up stressing out your life in the long run, especially if you’re a WOC. Advice to Management You need to stop using the excuse of fitting in with your “culture” as a way to blatantly comb out diversity and maintain your white male homogeneous haven.
