Interview
Standard interview! Phone screen, video call with the manager, met the team and a short call with the Chief Executive. Nothing surprising and standard behavioral questions about collaboration, program management experience, problem solving and communication.

Question 1
Tell me about the most difficult problem you addressed in the last year and how did you solve it.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Public Consulting Group
Interview
I had a preliminary screening with someone in HR, then a phone interview with the hiring manager and then an in-person interview. They never reached out in any way after the in-person interview. Overall I would say that I found PCG to be unprofessional and disorganized throughout the interview process. I also got the very strong impression that this is a company that asks a lot of its employees without giving much back.
The interview questions were not particularly difficult.

Went through one HR interview, two with the hiring manager, one with the team and the last (final) interview with the COO when he decided I didn't have the experience they were looking for...what?! It took them that long to figure this out?!!!!
