I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton
Interview
I was first called and screened by their HR rep and told that someone would be calling to set up a phone interview. When that call came I was told I would I would have to call into a conference line and enter a code. I would be interviewed by 2 people at this point and it would last about a half hour.
I was asked about all my general 3D art and animation knowledge. This included rigging, basic animation, modeling and texturing. After that interview I had to hang up and cal back for a second interview. This one consisted of how I would fit in at BAH and was conducted by managers of the department. I was told This would be it for interviews and I would be hearing from HR if I got the job. I was contacted a week later and told I would be getting a 3rd interview. Which was kind of a surprise since I was told that I was done with interviews. This interview was given by their art lead and consisted of a mix of questions from the first and second interviews. Then at the end I was told he would contact me with direction for a possible art test. I didn't hear anything for weeks then I got an email from the HR rep that I had been working with telling me that they lost the contract and would not be hiring for the position. Two weeks later I was contacted via email by their art lead to tell me he got the go ahead for me to take the art test he had told me about. Again, I was very surprised since I was told they were not hiring for the position. I did not ask, why in the hopes that maybe they had reopened the position, I just took the test which consisted of me modeling and texturing a fighter jet of my chose. (Pick a very detailed model, the jet I chose didn't have a lot of detail and I had to attempt to add more detail to the texture) The test took 2 weeks and I had to send screenshots with progress updates every 2 weeks. After the test I did not not receive a confirmation email or thank you for taking 2 weeks out of your job search to take the test. I don't normally feel a sense of entitlement but I think I deserve at least some kind of recognition for my time and effort. The interview was a really positive experience up until their new art lead got involved and communication fell apart.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (Washington, DC) in Apr 2015
Interview
Was contacted by executive recruiting via LinkedIn - had two phone interviews in quick succession and then asked immediately to come to McLean for interviews in person - full day. These were rescheduled several times and finally happened a month or more later than planned. Once we got talking the process stopped and started - I recognized that this was for a new position and that this type of thing happens, and obviously for senior staff they want to do a thorough job of vetting candidates. That said the communication could have been better around the process to help me manage expectations. On site, the interviews were with 2 principals, a senior associate, a VP and a Senior VP - it was a long day but it was full of good (but tough) conversations and quite a lot of thinking on my feet.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton in Nov 2011
Interview
Faced a board of their Principles and Directors, who were not nearly as experienced as I in SAP. They were professional, but slightly arrogant based on position, not knowledge. They didn't even remember that I was their client for three years, and I led them.
