I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg Industry Group
Interview
After a phone screen, met with multiple people from the sales team over the course of 2 1/2 hours. Each person held a different position on the team and in the company, gave varying perspectives on the job. Not a bad process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg Industry Group (Arlington, VA) in Dec 2014
Interview
Difficult but manageable. They want to see that you want this job, not that you're looking for multiple offers. They want to you close for the job at the end of the interview; if you don't, they likely will not extend an offer no matter how well the interview went.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg Industry Group
Interview
The Bureau of National Affairs is extremely thorough in their interviewing process. There was 2 phone screens with Sales Recruiters followed by 2 phone interviews with Senior Sales Recruiters. I was then qualified for a phone interview with a Sales Manager/Hiring Manager. From there, I interviewed F2F with HR and Hiring Manager.

Question 1
Nothing unexpected at all because I was over prepared. Most people would probably have trouble with some of the behavioral questions i.e. "Name a time that you helped someone in business without being prompted or asked. What was the nature of the problem? Why did you feel it necessary and appropriate to help? What did you do to help? What was the outcome?
