Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was very fast and felt rushed. Most of the interviewees were late and extremely busy, which I understand, but I felt like my time was disrespected. They were all very nice and approachable. I was able to ask questions too. I felt like I did most of the talking, which allowed me to fully explain my background and experience. Make sure you go prepared with your body of work and questions on hand. If you are offered a position, then push for higher pay and corporate housing if you need it. Overall, I felt like the process was fairly easy and that if ILM is in a pinch, they will quickly hire without fully thinking it through. Fortunately, I was a great fit for them and them for me!

Behavioral Technical
It took me a few weeks to get the interview because my schedule was tricky, but they were super accommodating. I'm still waiting for my second interview. The first one was with two people and they asked a lot of back and forth questions, over 10 scenarios. It was about my software knowledge, how I handle stress, and what I'd like to focus on as a Coordinator. I felt it went really well, no pressure at all, and they were friendly but professional.

Behavioral Group
It started with a phone call with the hiring manager, then I went to a group interview at their San Francisco office. It felt like a firing squad, with a bunch of managers staring at me from across the table. The atmosphere was really cold, no smiles or jokes. I couldn't get a positive reaction from them no matter what I said, so I was surprised to get the offer.
