I applied online. I interviewed at Smithbucklin (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I've had a phone screen so far. The recruiter was very nice. Explained the company to me, and we went through my resume, specifically what I did in each role. I am doing a video interview this week that's going to last somewhere between an hour and an hour and a half.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Smithbucklin (Washington, DC) in June 2021
Interview
It started with a quick phone interview, then interviewed with two people over zoom, then passed on to final interview with one person. Then offered the position. Standard interviews to make sure I would understand the role as getting an idea of how I could provide value.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What motivates you, and how do you stay organized?
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Smithbucklin (Washington, DC) in Dec 2018
Interview
The interview process was entirely too long. The recruiter called 5 minutes late for the phone screening and said that she would have to reschedule our call for the next day. (As if interviewees don't have lives) The first in-person was just okay. The second interview seemed promising, but I believe my salary range was too high for this position. They seek top talent in a city where the cost of living is extremely high! If students graduate from a top 100 school, there should be no reason why a reputable company lie SmithBucklin is unable to offer at least close to a $50K starting salary!! Do your research on starting salaries, recent grads!!

Question 1
Would you handle an issue in person or over the phone first?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smithbucklin (Washington, DC) in Apr 2018
Interview
Was emailed to set up a phone interview which went well. I talked for about 45 minutes with the recruitment person who was really nice, we basically just went over my resume and she allowed me to ask questions. A week later I came in for an in person interview. It was around 2 1/2 hours long and felt repetitive to me because I met with two different groups of employees who basically asked me the same questions that were asked before. I thought I killed the interview but days later they called and said they went with someone else.
