I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Advanced RPO in Jun 2021
Interview
Thorough and streamlined process. I enjoyed meeting with the various Account Managers who explained what the day to day looks like and the growth opportunities in the company. I also enjoyed that they offered follow up throughout the interviewing phase.
I applied online. I interviewed at Advanced RPO (Washington, DC) in Sep 2018
Interview
The recruiter did not call in to our meeting. Other times I spoke with these recruiters, they were not knowledgeable about the requirements (government) for the role and I later found out were plain wrong about some of the things they told me. I was given an offer which was then rescinded because of that mistake.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Advanced RPO (Danbury, CT) in Feb 2018
Interview
I had five phone interviews + 1 Skype, ranging all the way up to the President of the company, about 4 weeks worth of time. I thought everyone was very nice and polite; they all asked very good questions. I was a bit disappointed that after 6 total interviews, I was never invited onsite to physically meet anyone, and the decision was based off of the aforementioned. Usually after a certain number of interviews and a good amount of time spent, it starts to feel that the interest is there, so I was definitely thrown off by the final decision (but absolutely respect it). Also mainly since my experience is very specialized in a difficult field, which I know down to the smallest molecule, and there were two openings. I want to be as fair as possible and say that this was of course, only my experience. Much like with all reviews, you have to take them with a grain of salt, and try to see through the bias. This doesn’t mean that everyone’s experience will be this way or that this is a bad company in any way. On the other hand, the company is clearly growing and has very forward thinking folks with a clearly laid out vision to progress and grow. It would have definitely been great to get the opportunity; so if you do get contacted by this company, I think you’re in good hands!
