I applied online. I interviewed at Dinan & Company in Nov 2021
Interview
I applied and quickly received a response to move forward with the interview process. First was a generic phone screening to learn a bit about the role. The second phone interview was with one of the Principals which goes into more about the role and behavioral and situational type questions.
From there, about a week later I was invited into the office for an interview with 2 of the principals face to face. This is more situational and behavioral type questions as well as going over your resume and background and a bit of what you are looking for in your career. After this interview towards the end we were talking about internship to full time opportunity with a decision looking to be made after the new year. (This interview happened a week before Thanksgiving). I had followed up twice letting them know I had a few offers with deadlines and I needed to make a decision. At this point after several interviews and waiting to hear back for over 3 months they said they are not ready to make a decision and best of luck elsewhere.
