Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I was referred to the firm by someone in the department and they also came to our school's career fair where I met other members of the department. I was scheduled for a phone interview. It was kind of an awkward conversation. I have had other interviews of the same type where it was a fluid conversation between the interviewer and myself. I was cut off on several occasions to expand on something that I had said a few minutes prior and really received no feedback. Expect the interviewers to dig deep on one item of your resume. For me it was my internship, and the interviewer eventually went so far that I had to tell the interviewer that what they were asking was beyond the scope of my internship (it wasn't my job to discontinue underperforming product lines that I was analyzing) and the interviewer seemed really disappointed by this. I did not hear back for a couple of weeks, despite reaching out, and eventually got a generic we're sorry email. Also, one of my friends had an identical experience, but the company reached out to them another week after the generic rejection letter to say that they changed their mind and wanted to continue interviewing. Very unorganized hiring process.
