I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Public Consulting Group
Interview
I was referred internally and despite having a great internal recommendation, the recruiter from Boston missed our scheduled call. Straight up, didn't call. I was totally panicked and thought I had gotten something wrong. I emailed her and called and didn't get a response until the following Monday. It was something along the lines of "Whoops, got caught up in a meeting, I can try again this afternoon." I actually became a recruiter after leaving PCG and am baffled by how rude this was now that I'm on the other side. I know we're all busy and there are definitely times where things slip through the cracks, but I've never neglected to call a candidate entirely especially after multiple attempts on the candidate side to find out what happened. Looking back, she clearly didn't care about selling PCG to me because this reflected really poorly on the company and I should have taken it as a sign for what was to come

I applied online. I interviewed at Public Consulting Group
Interview
The interview process was straight forward but it is disappointing that they let me know after sharing the benefits that they internally took some other candidate. The interview was a 2 step interview with a call from HR for initial screening,
first 30 min recruiter phone call, then 1 hr chat with members of team and behavioral questions, case study you get the day before and presenting your work over an hour long call
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Public Consulting Group
Interview
The overall interview process took about 3 weeks and was well organized and smooth. It started with a HR recruiter reaching out to schedule a 30 min phone interview. It then progressed to a 1 hr skills interview with a senior technical business analyst and a final interview with the product owner. The interview was mainly behavioral and questions about your experience. The interviewers were very kind and invested in the discussions.
