Overall, the discussion was quite informative. I was first told a bit about the position and The Advisory Board Company. After that, I was asked to walk the interviewer through my resume, explaining why the EAB would be the next logical step in my career trajectory. I was then asked to explain in detail a research project. I answered a few logistical questions (potential start date, desired salary, etc.) before being able to ask questions myself.

I applied via a LinkedIn referral and found out I had a phone interveiw two weeks later with a member of the HR team. I felt the interview went fine. There were no unexpected questions, just asking me about why I wanted to work for the Advisory Board, walk through my resume, my experience with conducting research etc. I was told I would hear back within a week and did not. I followed up with HR and asked some further questions and was informed that there was some delay on their end and my questions were unanswered. I followed up again a week later and got no repy. A few days after that I received an email from an intern I had had no previous communication with informing me that they would not be proceeding with my application and thanking me for my patience.
