The interview process with SEI was lengthy, but was a great way for both SEI and me to get to know each other better. And, most importantly, to determine if the "fit" was good for all involved. I was not actively looking for a new job, but was certainly ready for a change and open to new opportunities.
The interview process began with meeting the recruiter, the Managing Director and finally the CEO. This was the first day and took about 1.5 hours. Instantly, I was intrigued and impressed with the people I met, which was my signal to stay in the game and see what else they were going to throw at me. The process then progressed to their consultants interviewing me. Over the course of a week or so, I met with five of their consultants who attempted to gauge my professional knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as how well I would fit into the SEI culture. For me, it was an opportunity to pepper the consultants with my questions that would help me understand how SEI works and if I wanted to become a member of their team. In the end, I felt the interview gave me the opportunity to gather the information I needed to make an informed decision. And, I feel they were able to get a good cursory sense of me as a person and professional.
