Question 1
Describe your experience working in a federal accounting position position?
I applied online. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton
Interview
Interviewed with recruiter followed by phone panel interview with an associate, a manager, and a senior manager. There were several aspects of the interview process that were highly impressive:
- I didn't have an internal reference, just blind applied to the position on their website. I had been under the impression that NOBODY gets into Booz without knowing somebody on the inside (I do have internal contacts, but did not leverage any of them or tell them I had applied for this job). I was highly impressed I was able to get in this way purely on past experience and skills.
- There were no BS behavioral questions ("Tell me about a time when..."), nor were there any 'gotcha' or trick questions ("What's your greatest weakness?"), just a straightforward conversation about my experience and skills as they pertained to the actual position. Refreshing.
- The interviewed process moved extremely swiftly, the recruiter was communicative, and I felt that all concerned were respectful of my time - another rare occurrence in the interview process.
- I never felt disrespected or demeaned by the interviewers or their questions, which unfortunately is all too common.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (Arlington, VA) in Apr 2019
Interview
horrible from the start. People were not professional and interview questions are not refined at all. Interviewer attitude was not friendly. Would not recommend anyone looking for work life balance.
