J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Mintel (Chicago, IL) en mai 2014
Entretien
Long, thorough interview process. The first interview is with an HR specialist over the phone. 30 min. It took about a week to set it up. Positive feedback was returned right away, and a phone interview was setup with the hiring manager. Went about 40 min. Questions were very conversational. They wanted to know my experience and background, and they described responsibilities for the position and wanted to feel out if the job responsibilities sound interesting.
Next they gave an analysis assignment: they send a set of data and you get about 2 weeks to analyze it and create a powerpoint presentation for the in-person interview. The interview was a panel and they focused on the presentation and asked related questions. You can then bring in examples from your work history to supplement what you demonstrated in the presentation. They have a very nice office (open concept design, no assigned seats, many sleek collaboration spaces, ping pong) and seem to use it as a recruiting tool. They also emphasized that they are looking for people who can take initiative and possess an entrepreneurial spirit.

A fast process. The team and the HR are both very friendly. The interview will focus more on questions related to insight and logic behind. After the behavioural interview comes the case analysis and presentation. Detailed and patient deck creation and presentation preparation are required.

I was referred by a previous coworker. The first formal interview was with a very personable HR manager, approximately 40 minutes. As this is a client-facing position I felt I was being evaluated on communication and speaking skills. 2nd portion was a short project that tested my ability to perform the core functions of the position. Finally, I came in-person for an interview with who would be my direct supervisor and three other co workers.
