Interview
Had a phone interview in October 2016... two days later I had the superday in the Baltimore office (this is where their industrials group is). Transportation group is really chill and the guys like sports. The chairman is a jerk...and asked me the same question for 20 min straight and told me I did it to myself. Was put on hold. Associates are all cocky. 6 30min interviews
