The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at APCO Worldwide (New York, NY) in May 2011
Interview
Found the internship through browsing the web, and felt I had the qualifications to apply to APCO. Initial online application required answering standard questions (why APCO) that sort of thing, as well as writing a pretend op-ed to test writing skills. Then I was moved on to a phone interview with the same sort of standard questions (what publications do you read? give examples of your strengths). I had to wait a few days after the initial phone interview to be moved on to a second one, where it was a bit more about personality traits (what do you do in your free time). A day or two after that I was extended an offer.
3 interview rounds (1- 15 min phone, 2- 45min GoogleMeet, 3- written assignment). The phone interview was more straight forward than expected. I'm not sure if the recruiter and I just clicked or if they typically weed applicants out during round 2.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at APCO Worldwide in Apr 2025
Interview
Das Gespräch lief gut, es wurde auch ein Angebot gemacht, dass dann später zurückgezogen wurde weil die Stelle doch nicht besetzt wird. Zunächst wurde mir ein späterer Starttermin versprochen bis sie dann die Anstellungsrichtlinien komplett umstellten. Daher würde ich mich nicht auf eine Zusagen von dieser Firma verlassen.
the first round was cv screening as i applied online. if passed, then will follow by hr interview (around 20 mins) virtual exam (which takes 2 hrs) and then final interview with three senior consultants.
