Participant Services Center Representative at T. Rowe Price

No Offer – Interviewed in Owings Mills, MD (US) Apr 2012 – Reviewed Apr 19, 2012

Interview Details Applied online on their website. Was contacted by an HR rep two weeks later. She asked to scheduled a time for a 30-minute phone interview. We set it up for a few days later, a Friday I believe. She called then, went over the position, the base pay, and then we went into interview mode. She asked several questions and I answered them to the best of my ability. Between her questions and my responses plus my questions for her near the end, the interview ended up lasting about an hour. She was very informative and thorough and she didn't make me feel rushed. It was a very positive experience.

About a week later she called me for the on-site interview for the following week. The onsite interview consists of an HR presentation (which included the history/background about the company, benefits, and what the position was about in detail) with another HR rep, a tour of the call-center floor, and then a 30-minute interview with two of the hiring managers. Both of my interviewers were very cordial (if a bit stiff), I had a male and a female and they both read their questions off of a script and took notes while I answered them. It was a little intimidating just because they were writing a lot and at points I did not feel like they were really listening to *me*, but just listening for key things they wanted to hear. Overall, I thought the interview went well, but I wasn't selected for an offer, so I am sure they found what they were looking for in someone else.

Overall, the experience was okay. It was different from other interviews I have had, so I will take it as a learning experience.

Associate at T. Rowe Price

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Owings Mills, MD (US) Mar 2012 – Reviewed Apr 14, 2012

Interview Details I applied to a position in mid March and received a phone call from Human Resources about 4 days later. The phone call with the HR rep was typical, asking questions about my resume and why did I want to work for TRP. I was scheduled for an interview on campus for 2 weeks in the future. The on-campus interview lasted about two hours, and the first hour consisted of an HR presentation about TRP benefits and a tour. The second hour was a two person panel interview, and I was asked about 7 Behavioral type questions, where a STAR response was helpful. Questions were typical for this type as well. I thought my interview went okay (I'm not the best interviewee) but I made sure to maintain a smile and a high energy level. I was told I would hear something within the next week or two.

I hadn't heard anything closing on to three weeks after the interview so I reached out to HR by email, just looking for an update. A few days later, three weeks to the day, I was offered a conditional offer.

Interview Question – Talk about a time when you worked with a difficult client/customer?   Answer Question

Interview Details The phone interview was easy. Then you get invited for in person interview. It last for 2 hours. 1st hour, is the HR giving an over view of the company. Then you have 1 hour behavioral interview questions consist of 2 people. In my case, a short lady and a guy interviewed me. The lady was unprofessional. She made me feel like im wasting her time. She had such an attitude. I wanted to snatch for chubby self off the chair. But I kept my composure since the guy was very nice. Of course one week later, I got a rejection email. I would have decline offer because that lady act like she own Trowe price.

Retail Account Management Intern at T. Rowe Price

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Tampa, FL (US) Oct 2010 – Reviewed Sep 16, 2011

Interview Details I applied online and was given a phone interview a couple weeks after applying. To follow up that phone interview I was immediately given acceptance to an in person interview at the corporate center. I interviewed one on one with the head human resources associate, but there were many others who interviewed with two associates. Wear a suit and tie, come with resume and cover letter ready to present, be firm, be confident, and most of all, be yourself.

Transaction Representative at T. Rowe Price

No Offer – Interviewed in Colorado Springs, CO (US) Aug 2011 – Reviewed Sep 13, 2011

Interview Details Probably a more difficult interview (the usual behavioral based) than my previous experience having interviewed for another position. It seems that perhaps the two managers had already decided to hire internally thus making my interview that much more difficult. The wait for the final outcome was a week and a half but the whole process took nearly 3 weeks.

I was referred to this position by a member in HR. I wish I had more money to spend to complete an MBA but two undergraduate degrees later (in relevant business/economic/legal fields) and I am still not qualified for even the most basic positions. This position was being offered at $33K with room in the future to grow in the company.

Not sure how this didn't get posted internally to begin with.

Interview Question – Something to the effect of "Tell us a time when you had difficulty conveying information in a presentation to a group of people."   Answer Question
