The recruiter and interviewers were extremely pleasant; however it was clear during the interview that though I was well-qualified, I was not the front-runner for the position. It was almost like they were trying to talk me out of wanting it. No surprise a few days later when I was informed that the position went to an internal candidate.

The entire process took almost one month, exactly. I applied and was contacted via email by a recruiter the next day, asking to schedule a phone interview with her. We scheduled for early the following week and the phone call, that same day I was sent a Microsoft Office Suite testing that covered Windows, PowerPoint and Excel. A few days later, I was contacted to schedule a video interview with three team members, including an HR rep. About a week later, I was brought in to the office to meet with a partner, the executive assistant and a phone call with another partner. A fourth phone interview was scheduled for the day before Thanksgiving and I received an offer the following Monday.
