I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Huron Consulting Group in July 2016
Interview
Very long process. I did a series of interviews over a month including HR, Direct supervisor and peer interview. Each post-interview feedback was very positive and I was told I was their top candidate. They make you take a series of online assessments, after which I was told no offer would be forthcoming. I thought it strange I was a "perfect fit", but they made their decision off the online assessment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They have a different approach to interviewing as they seem more concerned with cultural fit than actual experience and value.
This was the MOST ridiculous and cumbersome interview process ever. Tons of paperwork with “give me an example” questions. I went through 3 or 4 of them before they set me up with the online testing part. I took the personality test and NEVER HEARD ANOTHER peep from a company that had me do almost a week’s worth of work for a “coach” job. I came into the interview with over 12 years of health care sales with Fortune 500 companies. I looked back and there were over 30 emails from the company in a 2 week period for the interview process.
Obviously this was concerning, I mean, what possibly could have been so bad on a personality test that would warrant such a rude “ghosting approach”. With the company making such a fuss about how well they treat people, this certainly was an example of not meeting their own standards.
It was a good learning experience. I am now with a wonderful,company in a rewarding job. I will refuse an interview process that emulates this one. My time is money and this company had no respect for that.
