Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
1 on 1 Interview
Presentation
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
20 minute phone call with an HR person, asking general questions, tell me about yourself, why do you want to work here, etc. Asked to come in for an in-person interview 2 weeks later.
For the in-person interview at 9 in the morning, two other applicants were there. First, the hiring manager gave a presentation of the company and what the position would entail. The company was expanding and this was for a relatively new division. Most of the office was young professionals in the 20's although a lot of the office space was empty.
After the presentation, there were 3 1:1 interviews. One with the hiring manager & some else from another department sat in on this one, one with a 3rd year associate, and one with HR. Each interviewer was different. HR interview had more on organizational fit and the typical interview questions. Hiring manager asked a lot of behavioral questions. Give me an example of a previous time you provided insightful information. Interviewer came off as arrogant, acting like I was wasting his time.
The process wrapped up before noon and the HR person concluded the session with all three interviewees.
