Skills Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Application process was very easy/ normal though I have been told they only recruit from a limited list of universities. Involved resume and cover letter. From speaking with other students it seems the only thing they are interested in is your GPA to get you in the door for an interview.
As for the interview itself they had a group of 5 people currently in the program sitting around hanging out. They were there to talk with you about the program but clearly they were evaluating as well, as two of them were taking notes.
This was followed by a first interview, which was held by a finance executive who is involved in the future leaders program. He asked behavioral type questions that asked you to explain a time when you ___.
This was followed by a meeting with someone in HR who asked what your interests and goals are etc.
Then you took a computer based examination, which basically asked simple math questions like you might find on the SAT, perhaps easier than that.

BUT THE LAST QUESTION on the exam is "if you took this job, would you keep it?" or something like that. BE SURE to get all the way to that question in time and answer it. The exam is designed to end a minute early so that you have less time to answer that question than you expect and don't have time to hesitate.

Another important thing about the interview is that they will measure your ability to handle a situation under stress. They did this by asking a difficult interview question, and while I was thinking they had someone knock on the door and the interviewer said "okay, we'll be finished in a minute". This was not a coincidence, they did this for all applicants. If you encounter this be sure to not panic, and do not try to avoid answering the question by asking if the interview time is up.
