This was such a long interview process. I had 6 phone interviews, then a questionnaire, a case study, and an excel test. Then I got this questionnaire which was the craziest thing I've ever seen. It was another questionnaire with questions like 'Would you object to getting the flu shot?' and 'Who was the best and worst US Presidents of all time?'. There were also reading comprehension questions like a standardized test. After that, I withdrew my application. They said if I wanted to continue, I would have had 3 more interviews. All of this for an Associate role.

Behavioral Other

I applied for a business development role and after a few interviews with the hiring manager and some employees, I took a survey that helped the team understand me better. They then adjusted the job duties to fit my needs, like reducing travel so I could spend more time with my family. They worked with me to create the perfect role for me, which I really appreciated. Even though I accepted a part-time job elsewhere that I've known for a long time, I wanted to share how professional and great the experience was. I've worked with this firm before and they are well-respected in the industry.

The interview process was intense but ultimately rewarding. It involved a lengthy questionnaire and numerous interviews where I had the chance to connect with many team members. Despite being a long process, it made the job feel more worthwhile.
