SEI is disrespectful of candidates time. Employees have to meet recruitment time quotas and it informs the interview process. To meet that requirement, prepare for multiple one-hour, one-on-one interviews across the three seniority levels. First interview is feeling out a basic fit. The second is about skills. The remaining six (!) interviews are about fit. Each interviewer asks the same questions and makes the same disclosures about SEI --employee owned, no travel, everyone expected to contribute to recruitment & biz dev. Making these panel interviews would save everyone time. Some interviewers were prepared. Others simply showed up and asked rehearsed questions. The quota shows. Are you a serious candidate or just a way for a principle to check a box on hours logged? You'll never know. After seven (!) hour long interviews, the eighth interview with the Boston office leadership. It was yet another re-tread of the same questions! I'm unsure how the eighth time I answered, What makes a good consultant, varied from the first through seventh time, but I guess it did. I received a call telling me they were declining to make an offer, and had zero feedback outside of, it's a competitive landscape.
