I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Embark
Interview
The interviews were very conversational in nature and everyone was super nice, knowledgeable, and excited about the mission at embark. The interviews were by phone mostly and some in-person interviews. Everyone I spoke to was courteous and genuine.
Interviewed virtually from different city. 3 separate phone calls with recruiter, Manager, and MD. Exploratory call with recruiter, Manager was more skills/experience check. Call with MD was final round and very relaxed and more meet and greet.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of past experience and industries I was interested in.
I applied and received an email to schedule an interview and also take an on-line personality test. I had an on-site interview with the CEO and two other management members. The interview seemed to be going on well and it felt less like a formal interview and more like a casual business conversation, which I liked. I felt like i connected really well because the conversation flowed freely. The only odd thing i noticed was that the CEO seemed disinterested in the whole interview. I read that to mean he probably already had in mind the kind of person he wanted to hire. Prior to my interview, I had done extensive research on the firm and I was excited to interview with them and potentially work for them. Sadly, I did not get an offer but I was not surprised because it appears the firm only hires individuals from Big 4-10 firms who fit a certain demographic.
