Applied online and shortly afterwards had a brief phone call followed by a longer phone interview. The phone interview was very casual and informational. The interviewer was pleasant and the staff was very good about scheduling appointments and keeping me informed of my status.
Questions involved your basic: Tell me about yourself. Why the Advisory Board Company?
The interviewer wanted to make sure that I was on-board with the idea of 40% travel. When I heard that, I'm sure I sounded shocked and put off. I'm not okay with the idea of 40% travel. Previously, I had been told it was about 25%. That's when we parted ways.
HR reps can often be non-responsive and too busy to talk, but I found those at ABC to be highly professional and efficient. Very positive experience.
