Interview
After applying, HR contacted me to come and interview at an open house. They did not reimburse the cost of getting to New York for the event. First part was a presentation on the company, benefits, job role, and career growth. The recruiter giving the presentation was very deceptive as far as benefits go - no real health insurance for first 6 months - initital coverage is a "bridge plan" which is absolutely horrible to deal with and doesn't cover everything. Also, you don't receive vacation time at 6 months as they claim, you begin accruing which takes even longer to earn a decent amount of time off. After the presentation everyone began going on 1:1 interviews. I interviewed with 2 different managers of planning and never got the opportunity to interview with a VP because only 1 was available that evening.
-Phone interview, went through easily, then onsite, and finally with the manager you are suppose to work with.
-Did not ask questions that were overly difficult.
-Entire process took 2 weeks- they also paid for my trip to fly to New York!
