The interview process was fairly painless. It started with an initial phone screen which led to subsequent virtual interviews with three different people. Following the final interview I was contacted within a week with an offer for employment.
O processo levou mais de 2 meses. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Toffler Associates.
Entrevista
I applied to Toffler and was invited to interview two months later. It seemed a little odd that they took so long to follow up for a role that they appear to be actively hiring for almost all of the time. I did an an initial phone screening with HR, and then did a second interview with one of the senior associates. I was invited for a third interview, which was rescheduled, which meant that from the first interview to the third, it had been nearly 7 weeks. The interviews were very straightforward and included standard consulting-related questions and behavioral questions, but the interviewers always seemed distracted (checking their phone, repeatedly losing their train of thought, etc). After having received offers from other firms, I asked them regarding the status of my candidacy. They took a week just to tell me that they are actually not hiring for another four+ months. For all the emphasis on being “future focused”, they don’t seem to know their own. The content of the role and the firm aside, I found this entire process very unprofessional and quite frankly a waste of my time as a candidate. Even if you are interested in consulting, I think it’s important to know what you are getting yourself into even in the application phase alone.

Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. Fui entrevistado pela Toffler Associates em nov. de 2015
Entrevista
Very informal and personal. They describe it as "courting" potential candidates before they have actual positions to fill. I met with 3 different people and asked more questions than they did. They were very open and engaging, and it was helpful to have 3 different perspectives.
