Appirio Consultant interview questions

I was recruited to apply to Appirio by a college friend. I was given a phone screen, which was pretty straightforward, along with a technical exercise. Because my background is not in cloud computing nor object-oriented programming, I struggled a bit with the technical exercise but fortunately allocated enough time to get it done. I noticed, however, that the hiring staff never evaluated my technical exercise before making me the offer. Once I submitted the technical exercise, I was invited to interview at Appirio headquarters onsite. I had a couple of interviews with consultants as well as with a senior executive, whom I was extremely impressed with. I got the impression that consultants work hard but have great relationships with their clients and enjoy what they do. I was actually dismissed from the interview early because they told me that they'd gathered all the info that they needed about me, telling me that this was a good thing. I felt very good about the prospects upon leaving.

Was contacted by a recruiter who put me in touch with consulting lead. Phone screen, 3 phone interviews put me into the final round of 4 in face interviews during 1 day at HQ. Interview process took several months, but part of that was due to my availability. Bottom line, don't try to BS, these people are smart, they'll sniff it out if you aren't genuine. The company is growing like mad but they aren't going to sacrifice quality for a warm body.
