First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at GDS Associates.
Engineer
I found the job on the company's career page and applied online. The first step was a phone call where I spoke with two people. After that went well, I was invited to their office for an in-person interview. During the onsite, I met with several managers from the team and also talked to some current employees who are in roles similar to the one I was interviewing for. It was a pretty back-and-forth process, and they made sure I had plenty of time to ask them my own questions.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Proposal Writer
HR reached out via email and phone after finding my resume on Careerbuilder. I went to their office for about 3 hours and had 3-4 one-on-one interviews with HR, the President, and some engineers. They asked standard interview questions, including some behavioral ones. It was pretty straightforward, and the company seems good with great benefits.
- Can you tell me a bit about yourself?
- What are your career aspirations for the next five years?
Operations
I was contacted by phone and then had a phone interview. After that, I met with them on campus. The interview went well and they made me feel comfortable. The questions were pretty direct. Even though it's a small company, there's a lot of work and it seems like a good place to grow professionally and get consulting experience.
- Tell me about a time you had to take initiative to meet a deadline.
Analyst
Started with a hiring manager chat, then a second meeting with the whole team. The first meeting was just a basic intro and they talked about the job. The team meeting was about an hour and a half and they really dug into what I know about the position.
- Can you tell me about your Excel experience?
- What specific Excel formulas are you familiar with?
