Four In Office Interviews back-to-back
The first 3 interviews were pretty standard though I was getting concerned when after the 3rd interview there was still an unknown on what responsibilities the role included. Then came the in person and I started with the President who walked in 12 minutes late.
He proceeded for 45 minutes to directly attack 2 of my previous employers, one a direct partner with ISG and the other a Fortune 5 company. He had opinions about everything and everyone and wasn't afraid to make sure you knew them. He then went after my current employer, a nearly $1B consulting company before atacking my primary client for the last 5 years and I started to think maybe this was all a pressure test so I tried to stay cool but the best part was when he asked what I liked to do outside of work. After discussing my family and cub scouts and little league baseball I mentioned that I owned 4 rentals in Atlanta and I enjoy managing them and building that side business. "So you're a Slumlord." was his response. At this point I didn't care if it was a test or not and I wasn't going to work for someone who wasn't respectful to someone they didn't know. I sat through the next 3 interviews and they were generally fine and I used the time to pick some very sharp minds on the future of sourcing including AI and tips to sourcing marketing spend and other third rails. I followed up a couple times for confirmation of no offer (not that I would ever have taken it) but never heard back. I guess it's easier to call someone names to their face then to say "No" over the phone.
Buyer beware.
1 round with HR, 3 rounds of case studies (1 principal, 2 Managing directors). Themes of case studies are exactly related to the PiP type projects and situations and are sourced from direct experience of each interviewer
The interview process was professional and well organized. It started with an initial recruiter conversation to discuss my background, the role, compensation expectations, and overall fit. From there, I met with several leaders across the organization to discuss my experience with enterprise transformation, SAP delivery, program leadership, client management, and operating in complex consulting environments. The conversations were thoughtful and focused on both technical experience and leadership style.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you led a complex transformation program with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
Very sorry experience with unrelated questions. Interviewer was not able to put the interviewee at ease and tried to focus on what they could not bring to the table rather than what they could.
