I was contacted by a recruiter to interview for a position at Booz Allen, without any prior contact or knowledge of the company. My initial interview (behavioral style) with Booz Allen went fairly well. The person interviewing me (on-campus) had no experience in my field and asked me some pretty hostile questions (for example- Does you have classes that teach you how to lie?)- I am assuming to gauge my response and behavior towards him. We covered a variety of topics and went pretty in-depth into some of my coursework to familiarize him with my field. After this, things got a bit strange. I was invited back for another interview in DC, but the company refused to work with me on the interview date. I had a previous commitment, that unfortunately could not be broken, and the recruiter wouldn't even budge on the time of the interview. When I tried to rearrange my other flights (for more than $500 out of pocket) and commitment, the company recruiter simply stopped responding to my emails. I didn't even get a courtesy, "sorry we are no longer interested in you," response.

The interview process was great, the woman I spoke to really took the time to get to know me and learn more about what my interests were. She went through my resume with me and provided me ample time to talk through my experiences.
