Advisory Board Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Initially emailed with an HR assistant and had a brief phone interview with her. I was invited to do an in person interview which lasted from 9am-3pm. During this time, I provided a writing sample and spoke with 2 project managers. Each one spent about 30 minutes on a behavioral interview with fairly straightforward questions. There was also a case interview which asked you to explain how you would conduct research to answer a specific question for a company.

Interview Details Advisory Board contacted me a couple weeks after applying for the analyst position with a phone interview opportunity. I was traveling abroad during the interview, so the technical aspect of the interview was challenging. A conference number was provided, but was not working during the time of the call. The phone interview was cancelled twice a few minutes after the scheduled time of call. This seemed highly unprofessional.

Interview Details Short story: I had a phone interview, but that's as far as it went.

Detailed story: I feel like this was a complete JOKE and I didn't get a fair deal out of this. So they e-mailed for a wanting to do a phone interview. Despite the fact that I tried to be flexible with my time, they didn't schedule it until 2 weeks after my initial email.

I'm thinking by then, they had already chosen a price, and I had become an afterthought. Anyway, the phone interview came. The questions were fairly standard and things others here have mentioned or you have heard in other interviews.

Basically, the only way you can mess up a phone interview is if you sound disinterested, really mess up your answers, or don't ask good questions (again uninterested). IMHO, I thought I did very well, and asked good questions (i.e what are the long term prospects of this position? etc).

I get an e-mail a week and half later saying I was not chosen. I wish I knew what the reason was, but I let it be.

Interview Details The HR called to ask me some behavioral questions. She was very interested in learning about the education background, what kind of courses you have taken. The HR was friendly but distant.Did not answer my question about "strategic analytics" directly.

Interview Details There is an extensive interview process. I made it through the interview with the Hiring Manager - most questions centered around QA Best Practices and were not too technical. The next step was a half day with various peer level interviews from both QA and Development

Interview Details went through standard phone interview and then came in for a second round of interviews in DC and the next day got called back for a writing exercise and to meet a few more people. The questions were pretty standard interview questions, nothing that you can't prepare for but you should prepare. All friendly and warm people and they were excited about what they do and answering questions that you had about the company.

Reason for Declining – I had another job offer that had a significant increase in salary and benefits but would have gladly accepted a position here.

Interview Details phone interview was straight forward and basic. questions like walk me through your resume etc.

Interview Details Replied almost immediately to my application. Initially applied for the Washington, DC office, but was flown to Austin, TX instead for their Crimson team. They seem cheap on travel expenses.

One of the things that I find most annoying is that I asked the HR person for feedback in response to their rejection email, along with one of my interviewers. They will not give candidates feedback on ways to improve their interview skills, and I'm giving them a thumbs down for this reason. Otherwise, it seems like a decent company. They really try hard to create a startup "tech" feel to the environment.

Interview Details I applied for a position through employee reference. After few weeks I was contacted by a recruiter for an alternative position they were interviewing for. The recruiter screened me following which I had an interview with the hiring manger and then an on-site interview
