Delta Air Lines Interview Questions & Reviews in Atlanta, GA Area

Interview Details – I applied via LinkedIn and was contacted by the internal recruiter before the end of the day. We arranged a time for a phone screening and discussed the position, my experience etc. I was then scheduled for a phone interview with the hiring manager.

The evening before my phone interview, the recruiter called and asked me to write up a summary of my experience saying, "she really wants to be sure that you are a good communicator." Since I had written a detailed cover letter with my resume, I asked if that would suffice. The recruiter admitted that he hadn't read my letter. He read it and said that while I had effectively described my experience with a specific software, that he wanted me to elaborate on other aspects of the position. He gave me an hour to get it done, so I sat down and wrote it.

When it came time for the phone interview, the hiring manager went through some very rote questions, one of which was "Tell me about a time you managed a large project." I described my project and my challenges and what I did to overcome them. I got no feedback, other than a monotone, "That's a great story.'

I was told that they would be interviewing through the next week and bringing people in the week after for on-campus interviews. I expected to hear something one way or another. Two weeks passed and I had heard nothing. I emailed the recruiter who apologized and explained that the hiring manager was hung up on a project, and he thanked me for my patience.

I've heard nothing since.

I'm disappointed that no further communication has been forthcoming, not even a "thanks but no thanks" ESPECIALLY since I initiated contact and was told that the wheels were still grinding.

This experience gives me the impression that because the company is desirable that they don't really respect the time of their applicants.

Interview Details – Long interview process, but standard for the industry. Be prepared to meet a lot of people, most of the people you interact with will be very nice, informative and professional.

I will say that I left the interview with a more negative view of the company then I had when I started. Nothing to do with the company itself as they have a lot of great things going for them, but they don't feel culturally modern. It really feels as if the interview process hasn't changed much since the 1960s and that is good or bad depending on who you are. They are looking for classy, well put together people. They don't seem to like quirky types too much.

Interview Details – online assesment, followed by phone interview, succeeded to a face to face

Interview Details – Process was Apply online, telephone interview, email appointment and directions. Meet with 2 floor supervisors.

Reason for Declining – Shifts could be anytime day or night. Reservations is a 24 hour position.

Interview Details – Applied online in December of 2012 and heard nothing back until March 2013. I originally missed the call. Called back and the lady said that I would be contacted for a phone interview again soon. Heard nothing back for about two weeks. I finally called again and they did a phone interview on the spot. I was felt I did not do well since I was not prepared, but I suppose I did okay because she went straight into a second set of slightly more difficult interview questions. The total time for the phone interview was about 30 minutes. They asked pretty standard questions. The ones I remember: what would you do to handle a crying baby on board, what if a customer became intoxicated on board, tell me about a time you handled a stressful situation, tell me about a safety procedure set in place at your current job and how you would or would not change that procedure, etc.

I received a call back within 24 hours asking me in for a face to face interview the following day.

The face to face was pretty intimidating. I was in a smaller group (about 35 applicants). From what I understand it is typically a much larger crowd. They split us into three groups which rotated between the interview portion (1 on 1 with two interviewers), a Q&A session about training/benefits, a height test where they made sure we could reach the overhead bin and buckle a seat belt. They also took our photo.

There were a TON of Delta crew there (at least 30+), so be prepared!

Overall, it was a good interview experience, but very long (appx 5-6 hours). They made a huge effort to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed.

Of our group, they only hired about 3 on the spot. they said they would contact additional applicants within two weeks via email. I received an email about a week later stating I had not been selected.

Interview Details – Applied in December of 2012 received a email after taking the assessment saying that someone would be contacting me. I didn't receive a call back til February in which I received a immediate phone interview. After the interview I was told I had passed and that I would be hearing from them shortly to set up a f2f. Didn't hear anything until 3-4 weeks later. F2f interview is a cattle call interview session. They make you feel very comfortable, (but just always remember your every move is being watched). was about a 4-5 hour day.

Interview Details – Completed profile online, received telephone call several weeks later to arrange 30 minutes to get to know me and learn more about the position. Successfully completed phone screen; flew from my city to Altanta for a day of interviews. Picked up at the airport, taken to Delta offices. First stop was completed a basic skills test (math, familiarity with airline industry). Next were four one on one interviews with department managers and VP. Break for lunch at nearby restaurant with other candidate and two employees. Finally opportunity to shadow analyst before returning to airport.

Overall lots of STARs questions and managers seem brainwashed to believe Delta is the best company in the world.

Interview Details – had a telephone interview then flew to Atlanta for Face2Face. at face2face had 3 sections. a one on one interview, a height and reach test and a q and a session. Afterwards they called a list of names to go into another room. We waited for a few moments and then they came into the room and let us know we had gotten an offer.

Interview Details – The second round interview on-site at Delta is made up of 4 separate interviews (@45min each) covering revenue, marketing, leadership, and cultural fit at Delta. The revenue and marketing portions have several scenario-based quantitative questions. Very well run interview day. Amazing people! Go for it if you get the chance!
