I applied through college or university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
The interview was a little odd because I had one round where it felt like they had employees not looking for a new recruit interviewing me (felt like none of us really knew why we were talking to each other).
A month later I had interviews with teams looking for a new hire. The 2nd round of interviews were conversational and pleasant. I am a college new hire in data so I was not asked technical questions but don't bet on that if you're a higher level.
Actually getting onboarded was very chaotic- make sure to constantly be on top of whoever is onboarding you. My start was pushed about a month after I moved for the job even though I did everything on my end.

Question 1
What was one leadership experienced where you failed, or didn't live up to your expectations?
I applied online. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton
Interview
Phone Screening, then Interview with two architects. I was deemed a "firm fit" and the "Interview" was on the portal for weeks. So certainly no offer. Recruiter ghosted me afterwards

Question 1
Describe an pitfall you've experienced and how you overcame it.
There were two interviews. One was with the recruiter, and the meeting was 30 minutes long, mainly focused on my background with a little bit of technical discussion. Then I had the actual interview scheduled after the meeting with the recruiter.
The interview was 1.5 hours long and was broken into three sessions: technical, leadership, and then a final session that included both technical and leadership questions. The questions were based on my résumé, so everything they asked me related to my background, past experience, what tools I used, and how I used them.
Good interview process, very concise and responsive. One round of interviews then a response within the week of an offer or denial. Interview team was organized and flexible to work around my current job's schedule.
