I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Point B (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2017
Interview
Point B has a staged interview process. I went through a few extra interviews as I was being hired for a new market (New England) so in all I believe I had touch-points with about 8 people from start to finish. My understanding is that the normal number of interviews is between 4-6 total. All of my interviews were 1-on-1. Some occurred over the phone, one over Skype video, and the rest in person either in the office or over a meal / coffee.
After the first discussions with the hiring team I had my first real interview at a cafe over coffee. The discussion was very casual and seemed to be more of a general fit interview (are we good for each other).
My second interview was a discussion over the phone and was a little more targeted to my experience. After this interview, I was asked to create a work product / writing sample. This was my first time creating something like this and I thought it was a great way to discover and prove skills.
My third interview focused on the writing sample I created and practice specific content, skills, and background (Operations and Process Improvement).
At this point, I was asked to travel to meet with a Senior Market Director, the Practice Director, and a Senior Associate. Interviews were held at the office and over lunch. One of the interviews included a case study and the others were more conversational / behavioral / experience based.
After this I had one more interview on the phone (which I believe was more like a check in).
I received my offer shortly after!
Overall experience was great. Even though I had a large quantity of interviews, I thought the process moved fast enough. People were very friendly.
The process included a phone screen and three online interviews. My only frustration was being told I’d receive an update after the final round and then being completely ghosted afterward, which felt unprofessional.
Felt mostly like a conversation which was great. Clearly they were doing their homework to make sure I'd be a good fit culturally and have the horsepower to do the work.
Easy, very inclusive environment that made me feel comfortable. Interviews with peers , managers, so that you get a more comprehensive understanding of the role and the company. Also some behavioral questions
