Question 1
Most unexpected question - How many people have you fired?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (McLean, VA) in Jul 2011
Interview
It took some time to get the interview scheduled. I think it was a month before I got on an executive's calendar. I met with my direct supervisor over dinner, with a former colleague I knew from a former consultancy firm. That exchange was very informative and positive.
