NKSFB Interview Questions
& Process

After applying online, I got an email from the recruiter in a few days to schedule a call. We had the call, and then I was sent an assessment to complete. After that, I got another email to set up an in-person interview. On the day of the interview, my interview got delayed because one of the interviewers was on a client call. When I got to the office, the recruiter greeted me and one of the founding partners even offered me a drink. The interview itself was the WORST I've ever experienced. My potential boss was so arrogant, and the other interviewer seemed disengaged. They actually looked at each other to ask for my resume, thinking one of them had it, but thankfully I brought extra copies as the welcome email suggested. We paused the interview halfway through so one of them could respond to a client; I get that it's their job, but they should at least give the interviewer their full attention. Honestly, they were completely unprofessional, though the recruiter was much more professional and caring. They even asked about any planned vacations to accommodate them if I were hired.

The interview experience was quite casual and friendly. The hiring manager had to reschedule once because they missed the meeting, and they seemed very overwhelmed, which wasn't the best impression. Overall, it went well, and the company contacted me afterward, but then communication stopped. It felt like there were some disorganization issues.

It was honestly a terrible group interview experience. The format was very awkward because the interviewers took turns asking each of us the exact same set of questions, one by one. Instead of feeling like a natural conversation, it became extremely repetitive and uncomfortable. Sitting there listening to each person give their answer before repeating the same thing myself felt draining, and it made the whole process unnecessarily long. On top of that, the interviewer didn’t seem very engaged, which only added to the tension in the room and made the environment even more awkward.

The recruiter contacted me pretty quickly. We had a brief chat and then they set up an in-person interview with a manager for the very next day. A couple of days later, I got a call for a virtual interview with the partner. They offered me the job three days after that. It was super straightforward, mostly just asking about me and my background.
