Fairly informal chat, back to back, with 3 senior staff. Final interview was 15 mins with owner Gary Ross over the phone, with drawn out silences, more probing questions, zero small talk, but generally a pleasant experience.

Question 1
One interviewer was infatuated with whether I had “a Rolodex full of contacts” or not. He must have mentioned it 4-5 times at least.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at PIRA Energy (New York, NY) in Apr 2013
Interview
Met with the hiring manager and President, as well as several other managers in the company. Overall experience was great, laid back and informative. Interview process was straightforward. They asked about experience and other specific questions about the particular energy sector I had applied to.
