Interview
Very lengthy and cumbersome! One important thing to mention here is that this company utilizes one of the society's biggests fears to get you in, then make you work to death. That is called "Retirement".
The whole promise is that you become owner of the company as it is employee owned, and they give you stock. You are a bit richer when you leave the company or retire. Sounds amazing, right? But then there is so much pressure to charge clients 40 hours! You print a piece of paper and you have to charge the client, lol :) They ask you to fly despite Covid. They work you to death so that you will miss on your life but retire comfortably! Who guarantees you will see your retirement???
If you are only living your life to retire comfortably and don't care about your limited days, then this company is for you! A smart person would see the trick they play and find a more "humane" company!

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell in Jul 2021
Interview
A recruiter invited me to complete a pre-recorded video interview after reviewing my resume and application 1 month after I applied. I had to read the questions and record my answer shortly after. It was difficult to answer the questions without talking to a real person but I got through it.
The recruiter wanted me to complete the interview by the end of the week that it was sent to me and it took her 2 weeks to review and send my information to hiring managers. 1 week later, I was told that my application status changed and that they are "unable to move forward in the interview process". My guess is that this means they chose other candidates but I really don't appreciate the vagueness.
