Interview
My first interview was in July and it took almost 3 months for the entire process. I had 2 telephonic interviews followed by 1 Onsite (5 interviews + HR info session). I also had to complete a Writing assessment as part of the process. Most of the questions were straight forward and it was just a question of identifying theleadership principle and tying it back to the relevant experiences in your resume.
