I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Digitas Health
Interview
I had Multiple in person meetings with the larger team. Informal and relaxing process. Second interview consisted of an assignment presentation for the team. This was great experience for the job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Digitas Health (Philadelphia, PA) in Nov 2010
Interview
The interview process consisted of 2 phone screenings by the HR department who had found my resume from a major search engine, then 1 phone interview with the hiring manager, followed by 3 phone interviews, and then a panel of in person interviews that did not include the hiring or reporting manager.
All-in-all, I felt as though through this extensive process, the requirements that had been presented originally for the position were not the skills and requirements truly wanted for the role, and that mixed messages were being presented, (especially when the hiring manager was no longer part of the interview process). I was not surprised to find that we both decided that the position was not a good fit, but I was surprised that it happened so late in the process.
