Interview
The interview process was generally pleasant. The first round of interview consist of a behavioral interview on campus. People were pretty straight forward.
Advice for round one:
Be honest and be prepared. Behavioral interviews are highly predictable. Write down your experiences with leadership and teamwork so you can be prepared. Think about questions you want to know---but be thoughtful.
The second round interview starts with dinner with some of their senior associates in your practice where you can really ask questions about their day-to-day job and corporate culture. The next day, you meet with directors and a partner. This round is also behavioral. Throughout the day, you tour the office and go through various HR presentations.
Advice for round two:
* Go into your interview very prepared about the line of service you are interviewing for. There are technical questions. If you don't know what you're talking about, the partner will know.
* Really use the opportunity at dinner and lunch to get to know the associates. Every point of contact matters. Chances are, the partners are going to ask whether you are someone easy to work with and a good fit for the company. If you made it to round two, it's going to be more about whether people want to see you on a regular basis.
* Smile and be pleasant. If you are stressed to talk to people internal, how are you supposed to work with real clients? Show that you are having a good time.
