I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northeastern University (Boston, MA) in Jul 2013
Interview
I was contacted to come in for an interview during which I met with the two employees with whom I would be interacting most often. They had very different interviewing styles -one gentleman asked a lot of hypothetical questions, the other asked more about my experience and background. This interview led to a second round interview where I had to present to about 15 of my potential colleagues on the subject matter I would eventually be working in and try to convince them to do business with us. It was daunting to say the least, but through informational interviewing beforehand, luckily I knew a handful of people in the room already. This was followed up with a third round 1:1 interview with the director of the group who was a bit intimidating, but just honestly wanted to get a feel for me as a person and evaluate if I was up to the task since my experience was transferrable, but not in exactly the same field. This interview ended in a preemptive negotiation on potential salary and a verbal agreement on a number and agreement that pending any problems with paperwork, etc. I was hired. A follow-up call confirmed the offer and I requested and was provided with a written offer letter before giving my notice elsewhere.

Question 1
The most difficult question was something like - how do you think you will be able to contribute to this team/make a difference in the role.

Interview
One remote interview that seemed a bit rushed/frazzled. Pretty straight forward, expected questions and they were fairly nice. The problem was I was ghosted. I understand if I wasn't right for the position, but even not responding to thank you emails is a bit much. Candidates deserve to know they weren't selected by the person who interviewed them.

Question 1
Intervention strategies for underperforming students
I applied online. I interviewed at Northeastern University
Interview
Went through 3 rounds of interviews and was never given an answer. I even emailed to ask for an update and was told I would get one soon, never got a reply. Terrible experience.
Then applied for another Assistant Director position about a year later - same exact thing. I spent time meeting face to face and got nowhere.
