I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cardinal Solutions (Columbus, OH) in Dec 2010
Interview
The recruiting manager had a very low pressure approach which I appreciated. He gave me the pros and cons of the consulting industry, and then let me make my own decision. He never pressured me or badgered me. The interview process was extensive, which I also appreciated. I was first did lunch with the recruiter and a principal consultant. I then had a phoen interview with the technology lead. I then met with the practice manager (who is a Microsoft MVP) for breakfast. Then I went to the office and met with the director of sales and again for a final interview with the recruiting manager. All good people and low pressure on the interview.
