I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Risk Advisory Group in Jan 2016
Interview
I had two interviews with them over the telephone, where they asked me the usual questions about weaknesses and strengths, problem solving skills, languages, etc. A few days after the second interview they offered me the position and I asked them for the contract so that I can have a final look at it before giving them my answet. A week later, however, they withdrew the offer based on "commercial reasons". Very disappointing and unpleasant experience.

Question 1
Q: What are your weaknesses according to your current manager?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Risk Advisory Group (Washington, DC) in Aug 2015
Interview
Started with a 30-minute phone interview that was basically a run-through of my resume, followed by a 2 hour writing "test" (done remotely). The writing test included writing an executive summary of a fictional research report and writing a 1 page response paper to a question about business ethics. About a month after the writing test I was contacted by HR for an in-person interview. That interview was 3-4 hours, including separate interviews with the immediate supervisor and the director, followed by a more casual information-interview style coffee meeting with two employees.
