      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at William Blair

      Interview

      Took about four months. Spoke to six different people. It was a long process without steady communication from Human Resources. Once offered the position, they wanted thing to move very quickly however.

      Question 1

      Do you live in Chicago? It’s a must.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at William Blair (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      Applied online. Heard back one week later. Interview with HR . Phone call with hiring manager. Brought in for interview with the team (4, 45-minute interviews). All interviews were behavioral (walk me through your resume, tell me about yourself, etc). Only one technical question was asked during the in-person interview. After everything was done, a few key people quit (CIO, COO, etc) and communication broke down. People were friendly, but poor performance and a heavy active-equity focus has may have taken its toll causing people to jump ship.

      Question 1

      If you were in charge of the Asia sleeve, how would you allocate capital?

      Thank you for sharing your interview experience. We strive to make the interview process a positive one and it is unfortunate that the communication following your interviews was not clear. You mentioned turnover among our upper management. Historically, we have had low turnover and through our succession planning, we have created opportunities for other team members to advance their careers. At William Blair, we create an environment where professionals can thrive practicing the profession of investment management. We have the results to prove it. For example, 89% of the strategies reporting 5 year performance outperformed their benchmark for the period ending December 31, 2017. We appreciate your feedback and we thank you for your interest in William Blair.
