I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at North Highland (Houston, TX) in Apr 2013
Interview
One day of 45 minute interviews with the managing office VP, two office VP's, and a Manager. I also had lunch with fellow Principals and Senior Managers. The interviews were conversational and somewhat relaxed, but at the end of the day, it was an interview and preparation paid off.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The team asked questions about account management, client service, business development, leadership, team management and Houston market. Also prior to the interview I had to complete a series of tests.

Interview
One of the most unprofessional companies I should e ever interacted with! North Highland contacted me for a role they were looking to fill. Got the typical bs of how excited they were to speak with me etc... and then dead silence. The HR guy dropped the ball!
A few months later another HR person reaches out. I ask her what happened to the previous conversation and she promises to follow up. Turns out the previous HR guy was moving or something and simply dropped the ball! So I give this lady a chance.... she sets up another call and had me speak to a Partner. Have a great conversation and then dead silence. I’m like this is dejavu....... turns out the guy left the company shortly after!
Round 3 I get contacted by yet another new HR person. I tell her about my past experiences and she apologizes etc. I’m very wary of the company at this point, but she gives me the typical BS of how awesome they are and that she is sorry they dropped the ball the last 2 times. So she sets up a call with another Senior Manager and tells me she is setting time up with a Partner. The SM never shows up for the scheduled interview call.... and I’ve just had it with them....
if they are so unprofessional with recruiting senior talent, then I wonder how horrible they are to work with on a daily basis! NH is definitely on my blacklist of companies to never engage with!!

Interview
1:1s with team members spaced out over two months with no communication between each interview. One of the interviewers was looking out of the window most of the time and didn't seem to be very concerned with anything. Another interviewer had a huge ego even though they never did any real 'consulting' work. There are so many other great firms to work for who aren't snobby and arrogant. I would stay away from this place as they will waste your time.
