Identity Management Engineer at BB&T

No Offer – Interviewed in Raleigh, NC Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 20, 2013 New

Interview Details – Took many weeks to schedule group phone interview; hiring managers were "traveling". Then when interview finally happened it was the oddest interview I ever had (and have had many in my 33 year career... many as a consultant. As mentioned below, the strangest aspect of the interview was the hiring managers explaining in depth a pending Oracle IDM project but the initial engineering was already complete. It made it very confusing as to what they were seeking from the Engineering position as most of the project aspects they dove into weren't then relevant?

Interview Question – They really didn't ask any specific questions... spend most of the 45-minute interview discussing an Oracle OIA/OIM project implementation.   Answer Question

Business Loan Administration Credit Analyst I at BB&T

Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 15, 2013 New

Interview Details – Initial phone interview with HR. Basic questions about myself, why I want to work in banking, and surprisingly some behavioral questions but nothing too difficult.
Got a call back to interview in Winston. Interviewed with two separate team leaders for about an hour each. They asked all kinds questions. I can't remember anything specific, but they were mostly situational/behavioral questions that required wordy answers. Nothing that really blew me away though or caught me off guard completely. Very standard and straight forward.

Interview Question – Tell me about a time when something didn't work out as planned, and how did you deal with it?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – No negotiation because I was right out of college.

IRA Associate at BB&T

No Offer – Interviewed in Richmond, VA – Reviewed May 14, 2013 New

Interview Details – Simple straightforward interview that consisted of interviewing with two people. Both started off introducing themselves and then went on to them telling me about the company and duties for the position I applied for.

 The negative aspect of the interview was that although I interviewed with two people, one was exceptionally professional which was the manager of the department. The other interviewer, however looked out of place and was like a deer-in-the-headlights during the whole interview. It seemed as if he didn't have the interviewing experience and had little to no confidence even though he said he had over 10 years of experience in the industry.

First interview is a telephone interview. They ask you questions pertaining to your skill level with various functions related to the job. Next you will be ask to complete an online mock call scenario. After satisfactory completion, then you will be ask in for the final interview.

Interview Question – I don't recall any question being difficult. Most questions were asked to determine how persuasive and "thick skin" you were.   Answer Question

Relationship Banker at BB&T

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Apr 14, 2013

Interview Details – I interviewed with two branch managers (FCL) first. Next it was with the Sales and Service leader (DM) after taking an online evaluation. It was pretty straight forward. Many branch positions have a preselected candidate that is going to be hired after interviews are conducted. It would benefit candidates to try and network with the manager with the actual opening, so you can stand out in a crowd.

Interview Question – Pretty standard stuff. Nothing I hadn't heard dozens of times before.   View Answer

Negotiation Details – I was given an offer based on my experience and was told by my future boss that it was pretty much a take it or leave it offer.
