Interview Details Typical first round interview. Talked about my resume, and asked two behavioral questions. Did not get a 2nd round, but email encouraged me to apply again. Interviewer was very nice and he seemed interested. However, I could not go to the pre-interview reception because I had class, which could have affected the decision.

Interview Details This was a very good interview experience. The whole process was neatly done and very professional. Although the company is close to being Big 4, the staff and partners were very friendly and tried to make the interview as comfortable as possible. The only problem is that there's a lot of competition, but that's not the company's problem. It was a very easy going and fun interview. It's a buddy system where you shown around by an employee while the interview process is going on. You are interviewed by 3 people and then go to the lunch with the staff. Afterward, you have an ice cream social back at the end office and have an ending interview with one of the 3 people you spoke with.

Interview Details Interview supposed to be with both partners, but unfortunately one of them was out of town, so I didn't get to meet him. The one who interviewed me was actually very pleasant, easy to talk to, didn't try to make it difficult. I wasn't nervous at all. In the end there was a short questionnaire. Couple of days after interview HR guy emailed me that I wasn't successful, but no explanation as to why. Interview was OK, but outcome not so OK ;o))
Interview Question – Most difficult was when they ask you what you want to know about them. Answer Question
