I found out about the role through a friend who worked at BBH, and it seemed like most people got referred. I applied online, and about a week later, a recruiter called me for a quick 10-minute phone screen. Then, two days after that, I went to BBH for the main interviews. First, I met with a VP from one of the departments; he was pretty relaxed, talked about himself and the company. After that, there were two rounds of interviews, each with two hiring managers. The first pair of managers seemed a bit inexperienced, reading questions straight from paper, and they asked pretty basic behavioral stuff. The second pair were a bit more serious and asked tougher questions about team experience. They seemed to appreciate it when you asked them questions about the company.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. I connected with BBH through a recruiting agency, and after they forwarded my resume, I had an interview the following week. I interviewed with an associate from the department. It was a well-rounded interview that covered my background, personality, and qualities. Overall, it was a very good experience.

Got the lead from a staffing agency. Pretty standard interview, really. They care a lot about how professional you seem. Being sharp, showing you're good with time and can actually get stuff done is key. This job is basically doing the same things every day. So, the challenges aren't really changing, but you need to be super detail-oriented and get your work done fast. Showing you're a quick learner, can pick up the methods quickly, and have a strong work ethic will help a lot.
