It was a really organized interview process, which is just like the company. You go through a bunch of stages and meet with lots of people from the team. They want to see if you're a good culture fit and if your skills are right for the job.

The process started with a quick, friendly initial phone call with HR to go over the job. After that, I was sent two online tests. It took me a month and a few follow-ups to hear back about the tests because I didn't get any updates. Then, I was invited for an interview where I met with HR and two senior EAs. The interview was mainly focused on competency and personality. A couple of days later, I got an email saying I didn't get the job. It was really disappointing to not get any feedback, especially after spending time on tests, spending money to travel for the interview, and going through such a long process. I would have expected a large company like Egon Zehnder to be more personal at this point.
