I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mattersight (Chicago, IL)
Interview
They were efficient and friendly throughout the entire process, providing flexible timing and quality responses to questions. The in person interviewers did not seem particular interested in spending time with me, however.

Question 1
What would let you transition well into the business world?
Thank you for taking the time to review your candidate experience. Glad it was a positive experience overall although your comment about the in person interviewers concerns me. If you are open to it, I would be interested in talking with you for more detail. You can reach out to me directly or through Patrick or Katie. I hope you have found a great role at another company and I wish you the best of luck! Melissa
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mattersight in Jan 2012
Interview
Applied on college website and found out I was selected for on-campus interview very quickly.
The interview started early and was pretty short. The guy asked me a few questions about me to gauge personality and then we went onto some case questions which I hadn't done before.
I think since they were on campus they tried to fit in as many interviews as possible, so a rejection wasn't entirely a reflection of my interview, so much as the fact that my GPA and resume weren't great to begin with and I didn't bring anything unexpected to the table in interviewing.
