The 3 phone interviews were fine. Decision round interview in Portland with a managing director and co-founder. It was clear from the first second the co-founder didn't want to be there, and had no intention of hiring me. The co-founder's "phoning it in" and arrogant attitude was so bad that even the managing director was visibly uncomfortable within the first couple of questions. We went through all the motions anyway, total waste of time for everyone. Before the interview HR was very responsive with all communications. But then after the in-person interview, it took more than half a dozen emails and multiple phone calls for HR to reimburse my travel expenses... all of the sudden it took weeks to get a response and it was one excuse after another. This is tier 4 or 5 firm predominantly run by people who couldn't hack it at tier-3 firms. Which would be fine if it wasn't coupled with arrogance thick enough to cut with a knife (at least in their top leadership). If you're looking to work your way into terminal middle management at one of their client companies this might be a good place for you. But otherwise I wouldn't even recommend this place as a "safety" pick. This won't be a stepping stone to a real consulting firm because this company doesn't do strategy consulting at all. They are a run of the mill "staff augmentation" shop. Steer clear.

Either the interviewers are liars, hypocrites, or both. The company is lost and can't offer competitive market rates. I crushed all four interviews and case studies. They tried very hard to find something wrong with my answers, but fell short and floundered. Just like what the other interviewees stated on this site, they will ask if you want feedback and then ghost you.
