I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ERM in May 2024
Interview
TA representative was incredibly disorganized, often sending me multiple conflicting emails to schedule then reschedule meetings. I was scheduled to speak to a senior manager, then a partner from the firm. After interviewing with partner the TA rep told me i was to speak to the same senior manager while also requesting that I do a case study via a separate email. When I asked for clarification I was told I was actually supposed to meet with the partner whom I'd just spoken to an hour before. I submitted the case study and they never responded to my follow ups asking about the case study presentation I'd submitted. Seriously unprofessional and sloppy.
I applied online. I interviewed at ERM (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The recruiter was 15 mins late for our call and didn't know which role I was interviewing for. Dropped off the call abruptly and told me she'd call back and never did. Didn't respond to my email for over a week.
