Sullivan Associate Analyst interview questions

They were helpful and friendly in the original HR conversation and in arranging for the interview, but I knew within the first five minutes of my in-person interview that I didn't want to work there. All 4-5 interviews were on two sofas right in the middle of the work space, which was uncomfortable. I felt like I was constantly being put on the defensive (I'm aware that this could be me, so was conscious of trying not to answer in a defensive or inelegant way) and felt like I had to keep justifying why I was there -- which is strange because you invited me to interview. The founder told me I reminded her of her son because of his age, which was patronizing and offensive. The feedback I received with my rejection also contradicted several things that were said during my actual interview (e.g., they were surprised at how large my current firm is and then told me I need more experience at a larger firm). On the bright side, I heard back same-day.

I first found Sullivan on my school's career website and then applied online. About a week after applying, I was contacted by someone at Sullivan asking about availability for an interview. I went into the office the following week for a first round of interviews where I met with 3 different people. The first conversation was 1:1 and the next was 1:2. I got to meet a variety of people all with different backgrounds and lengths of time at Sullivan. It was encouraging to see that the people with 10-15 years at Sullivan and the person with 1 year at Sullivan were equally excited and passionate about their work and experience at Sullivan. The interviews were conversational and the interviewers were curious to find out what I was like not just on paper, but as a person. Everyone I met was friendly and well spoken. That night I received an email saying that they were ready to move on to final steps. By the end of the week I received an offer and accepted! I was very impressed by the speed and organization of the process - a true sign of a prestigious, respectful, and classy organization.
