I applied for a position at PFG through my university's recruiting website. I received an email from HR about two weeks later about the position I applied for earlier. I responded saying that I was still interested. I got a phone call during class at around 11:00am from HR to schedule my first phone interview. The first interview was approximately 45 minutes long and was very structured. The recruiter had already prepared a list of questions, all behavioral (fit). My advice to future candidates is be outgoing and kind to match their personality. Few days after my first interview, I got an email saying that I received a second round phone interview (last round). That consisted of two back-to-back interviews with the managers from the department I was applying to. The last round interviews were structured the same way as the first phone interview and were pretty easy. Again, they were just behavioral questions. My advice here is prepare your responses thoroughly using the STAR method. A few days later, I received the offer.

Overall, the people in the office were very nice. People on my team were very eager to answer all my questions. Although the people were nice, the work culture wasn't what I wanted. At PFG, the work is very relaxed, a typical 9-5 job. If you desire a relaxed job where you can go home at a very early time, this could be a great fit for you.
