I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ALKU (Amherst, MA) in May 2018
Interview
Leading up to the interview I took a series of phone calls. The phone interview went great. I was then scheduled for an in person interview. I showed up for my interview 10 minutes early. I was placed in a room where I was told to wait for the person to interview me. I sat in there alone for twenty minutes or so. My interviewer came in wearing a golf polo and a snapback hat that was on backwards. I was in a suit, I don't know if it was casual Friday, but the whole environment seemed off. I could get the demeanor that my interviewer didn't even want to be there. As if he had something better to do on a sunny casual Friday. Worst interview experience by far.

How would your friends describe you?

Went over the resume step by step
Tell me your life story?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ALKU (Andover, MA) in Apr 2025
Interview
Efficient. A few rounds. All nice people to speak with who seem to care about the conversation. There was no point in which I was left waiting for response that didn’t seem reasonable, unlike many other companies. Ultimately received an offer but declined due to more competitive remote flexibility I saw at all other sales and recruiting firms. Their model
Seems very outdated
Informal, conversational, and they really just want to see if you're the type of person that they can convince to work 80+ hours a week for minimal pay to bolster the portfolios of the account executives.

Question 1
are you willing to work after hours and sometimes weekends?
I enjoyed the interview process because I met with 3 people separately for 30 minutes. Although at the end I found myself running out of things to say and feeling repetitive .
