Three-stage interview process: an initial online screening, followed by a second round, and a final in-person round in Chicago, which includes a comprehensive seven-hour evaluation with multiple interviews and assessments.

A couple of days after submitting my application I received an email requesting a time to have a phone interview with someone in HR to discuss my application. The phone interview was very comfortable and offered the opportunity for me to ask specific questions about the role and for HR to learn more about me and my experience. After the phone interview, I received an invitation to for a two hour in-person interview with the regional director and one other director at the Boston office. These conversations were one hour each and provided the opportunity to introduce myself, my experience, reasons for wanting to transition to such a role and to learn more about what IPM was looking for in this role. The following week HR reached out to me to say that they wanted to invite me to a day-long interview in the Chicago office to meet with the CEO, Executive VP, a current consultant, and give a presentation during a 1.5 Panel Interview. The interviews, especially with the CEO, were very focused on me as a person and understanding the culture of IPM. The presentation was an opportunity to discuss my management style and for them to determine if it was as fit. Honestly, it required a lot of upfront preparation, but was a very enjoyable experience.
