I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Third Bridge (New York, NY) in Aug 2012
Interview
I got the interview through a referral from a friend who works at CognoLink as a Research Analyst. The first interview was over the phone and was very short, only about 5 minutes. They asked a few questions about my personality and work experience and then immediately scheduled a follow up interview in their office. During the 2nd interview I met with 2 people. The first interviewer asked more questions about my work experience and asked me why I wanted to work at the company, what interested me in what they do. The 2nd interviewer then came in and asked me more thought questions. I had to do a short case study in something I would be doing for the company. The 3rd interview was over Skype with someone from their headquarters in London. He asked me a lot of questions on the global economy and was more of a discussion. Thought I did well during the course of these interviews but 1 day following my final interview I was emailed saying that I wasn't a good fit for the position.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Third Bridge (New York, NY)
Interview
Dont let them trick you into thinking this is an actual research position. You will be cold calling people most of your day. The interview process is relatively simple, first spoke with a recruiter who passed me onto an in-person round. I never heard from them after that.

Question 1
Given this case industry, what types of industry experts would you contact on behalf of a client who is looking to invest in a company within that sector.
Had an interview for Forum role in Hongkong. Straightforward interview. The recruiter was very pleasant and nice, she was very professional. Prepare for your understanding of the role, although she was very nice in explaining the role in details, you knew it’s a major concern if you have no idea about the position youre applying. She also provides transparent feedback which I really appreciates. Not all companies or recruiters do the same. I always see this recruiter in job fairs and she’s overall nice and very accommodating. I would recommend trying an interview as it will change your perspective about the company and the role.
