Behavioral
I got the opportunity of an on-campus interview from the 'Meet the Firm' event. It was an on-campus interview with two interviewers. They tried to learn more about my background and asked some behavioral questions. They were friendly during the entire process. I was very nervous since I don't have much experience in interviews and they were taking notes along with the interview.

The interview experience was quite pleasant and informative, and it didn't take too long. I went through 4 stages: initially, I spoke with a recruiter, then I had a meeting with the director who would be signing off on my hire. The third stage involved meeting with some potential supervisors, and finally, I had a discussion with a peer.

I was emailed by a recruiter after applying for the Payroll Analyst position. We talked about my background and how it fit the role. I then had an interview with the Director, which I thought went well. He said I'd be set up for a Zoom call with another person in a similar role. I followed up to thank them and ask about the next steps. The Director said he'd tell the recruiter to schedule it. The recruiter got back to me a week later to say the job was on hold and wished me luck. The role was posted again right away. Felt like a dishonest process.
