I was recruited at a career fair that I was attending, not as a student but as someone hoping to get an entry level job since I had already graduated college in May 2010 at a different university. After talking with the very enthusiastic recruiter, I definitely took an interest in the company, and was very glad to get a call from them later that same day. I was asked if I would be available for taking a B-Apt (Berger Aptitude for Programming Test) test the very next day. I agreed. The following day I met another friendly employee who was to give me and monitor my B-Apt test at the temporary location of the Pariveda Seattle office. It took a couple of hours to do, but I found it enjoyable. I have a background in CS so my programming experience could have helped me out, but it was really all about understanding directions and forming your result as logically as you could. Directly after the test I was told I would have a 1/2-1 hour phone interview with a manager at Pariveda on the following Monday (I took the test on a Friday). I was also sent a Predictive Index Survey which told them a little more about your personality. All I had to do was be honest and check check-boxes. As for the interview, it was a late-hour interview since the manager was pretty busy, but I was flexible in my schedule. He asked me the basic questions ("What technologies have you done?" "What did you do for this internship on your resume?") and a couple of coding questions. We ended on a couple of questions I had about the company and the idea that if I got hired, I would (jokingly) get new favorite sports teams. I confirmed to do an on-site 2.5 hour case interview (with two interviewers) on Wednesday which was nothing like I had ever done before. This time they were testing my consulting skills. I had to use a diagram system that I had never used before and had looked it up online the previous day to understand the general gist of it. I was definitely very nervous about my answers, but directly after the interview they told me I got an offer and invited me to a dinner with a couple of other employees (fins). The dinner was very informative and it was nice to talk to all the other employees to hear their stories. Everyone was so friendly and they easily answered any questions I had about the company. The offer that I got was the exact same offer I had received at another company that I had to decline due to location reasons. Pariveda had great benefits and they really seemed to care about their employees. I really liked their whole "we're not competitive so that we can support each other instead" motto. So I decided to accept their offer and send back my rewritten response on Thursday night before starting work on a client the following Monday. I had an accelerated hiring. Most interviewing processes last way more than a week.
