Interview
The interview process took a several weeks (a few months). Despite their insistence that they needed to fill the role, there were extensive delays in hearing back from them. They seemed quite disorganized.
Submitted online application consisting of CV and cover letter. Was invited to interview a couple of weeks later. Interview was held remotely and lasted for approximately an hour. The interview consisted of competency and role related questions. After the interview I was asked to complete a written assessment.

Interview
I applied to two different positions - one in Houston and one in DC. I was contacted back by both and went through the interview process for both. For the position in Houston, I began by interviewing with the HR intern and then the second interview was with a senior consultant of the department. For the one in DC, the first interview, I talked to two senior consultants. The third step of the job in Houston and the second of the job in DC is a three hour written/research assessment. I am in the process of completing those now.
