I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Beall Research (Evanston, IL)
Interview
Talk with person who will be your direct manager first, then have the opportunity to talk with every other person on the team, which is very helpful for understanding the role, company culture, etc.

Question 1
Discussed previous experience managing clients and a team
I interviewed with a senior manager and found her to be incredibly personable. The first round was a 30-40 minute phone interview and the second round was an on-site where I was asked more detailed questions and was also interviewed by some of the other senior managerial staff.
Three step process involving a screening interview, personal interview with the hiring manager, and a final interview with the senior principal. The final interview was surprisingly friendly as I expected to be grilled. We came to an agreement on salary and benefits which started a collegial relationship.

I was asked technical questions about skills in various aspects of the trade with follow up questions about specific examples of implementation. It was clear they were looking for a manager with thorough knowledge of the work which was appropriate for the job role.
