Burson Cohn & Wolfe Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process kicked off with an HR phone call where we talked about my background and career interests. The HR rep also filled me in on the project details and what the job would entail. Next up was a face-to-face chat with two project managers. This part was all about diving into my previous experience and projects, and how my skills would fit with what they're doing now. The managers were super approachable and professional, and the discussion revolved around practical work situations, not really any tough technical stuff.

The interview process at Glassdoor was relaxed and friendly, focusing on getting to know me rather than putting me under pressure. It started with an informal chat with a recruiter who asked open-ended questions like, "Tell me about yourself" and "What interests you about this role?" The tone was conversational, allowing me to share my background and motivations comfortably. The next stage was a team fit interview, which felt more like a discussion than a formal interview. We talked about team culture and how I'd fit into the role, with a few behavioral questions, but nothing too intense.

My buddy referred me, and the recruiter hit me up asking what I was looking for. We chatted for an hour about my past work. Then I had two interviews with people involved in the role. They were cool, and I learned a lot about the company. I emailed the recruiter about what was next, but after a few days and another follow-up, I never heard back. Radio silence for a week. I guess I was ghosted, which was weird because she was super responsive before. It's a bummer because I would have understood if they just said no, but ghosting isn't cool, especially when I was referred. Definitely a heads-up about BCW recruiters ghosting people.

I never heard back from the recruiter after our first conversation, even though she said she'd follow up. I figured I didn't get the role because of the silence, but I followed up anyway and they told me they had moved on to other candidates. It wasn't a bad experience because I didn't get the job, but more because of how the recruiter acted. During our chat, I asked her several questions she couldn't answer. She didn't know anything about the day-to-day tasks of the role, the technical stuff, or even some of the benefits. It was listed as a contract role, but she had no clue if it was w2 or 1099. Overall, the experience was pretty lame.
