What was the best interview experience you had?

Mine was a 10 minute interview for a small consulting firm. I was there for almost 3 years!

Same, 15 minute phone interview for a firm. Clicked right away with the hiring manager. Was there 5 years!

All these interview processes are overwrought and low value-add.

I didn’t even have an interview. I was referred there for contract to hire role, then their third party recruiter called on Thursday asked if I could start coming Monday. I said sure since I had just rolled off another contract. On boarding paperwork started the same day. I was really surprised that hiring manager didn’t even look at resume let alone talk to me before I got there.

I had what I thought was a half hour, informational conversation at Booz. Got a call from my recruiter later that afternoon to say the interview went great and they want to make an offer. I said she was confused because I hadn't done an interview yet. Turns out that conversation in the morning was it. Been here ever since.
