I applied online. I interviewed at T-Rex Solutions
Interview
This company works for a federal consulting primary called Boston Consulting Group. The recruiter lied, saying the interview would be “one-and-done”, it wasn’t. There was a second interview with the primary, with potential for additional interviews. I was given the final minute out of 30 minutes in the second interview to “ask any questions”, so I asked one. No respect for candidates. An application had to be submitted for both this company and the primary. I was also left to inquire where things were at, as recruiter follow up was nonexistent. All of this for work that’s no more than 1-year in duration - awful experience and waste of time.

Interview
Case study, mostly behavioral questions. It was focused on why you want to work at that firm. The case study was about pitching a product. It was pretty straightforward, however, it does take time and you are given thee case study 24-48 hours before.
