I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PointRoll (King of Prussia, PA) in May 2011
Interview
Overall the interview process is pretty standard. My interview was with 4-5 different people for about 30 minutes each. Interviewees can range from people at the same level to director level.

Provide experiences where you had to deliver some bad news to a client about timelines etc.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PointRoll (King of Prussia, PA) in May 2013
Interview
The interview process consisted of 1 phone interview. 1 month later I was contacted to come in for an in person interview. This interview consisted of meeting with 5 different people - each of them came in and asked me similar questions, it was clear that they did not converse with each other about the previous interview.
Each person I met with was very honest that they did not have a work life balance - they were expected to be on call for their clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I didn't mind them telling me this because I now knew what I would be getting myself into if I was offered a position there.
I was contacted later that week to come in for another interview the following week to meet with two additional people - same questions as first 5 interviews and also more honesty about how personal life will be no longer - work is everything.
Each person I met with expressed their happiness with the company, and how much they didn't mind working all the time.
I was also "jokingly" told by one of the interviewers that I "wouldn't fit in" because I didn't go out and drink a lot. I don't even know how we got to that statement - but it felt weird and alien and unprofessional that that was the reaction of a person who was sent in to interview me.
After all the in person meetings, I left the office feeling confident that I had done well in my interviews (besides that one random comment) since I was told repeatedly how great most of my qualities and experiences were.
2 weeks after my last interview and thank you note that was sent to my interviews, I was sent a generic form letter style email letting me know that I had been one of the final candidates but would not be considered moving forward - they were going to explore other candidates instead.

Question 1
There were no difficult or unexpected questions. Each question that was asked sounded like it came from an interview handbook. Each of my interviewers asked the same questions as the interviewer before them.
