Difficult Interview

Overall Neutral Experience

Received and Declined Offer

Interviewed May 2010 in Seattle, WA (took 2 weeks)

My experience started with a company-wide presentation geared for new graduates at their branch in Kent. With a rep from each of their divisions present; each rep gave a run down of their department and what an internship would look like and the prospect of being hired on after completing it.
After the presentations (1.5 hours later) open interviews were held and you were assigned with a random Exp employee for a short 15 minute interview were they evaluate your skills and intelligence level.
Then I was contacted by phone by one of the department heads and conducted another short interview this time over the phone - I was offered an interview in person. I was interviewed by two associates and asked the usual type interview questions and evaluated for industry knowledge. They wanted to know about my past job experiences and how I work under pressure. I did well, and they made me an offer for an internship.

Reason for Declining

The internship offered was poorly structured and the compensation was well below market w/ no incentives, in addition the corporate culture seemed very rigid and off putting.

Other Details

I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Presentation.

Easy Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 weeks)

I had one 1:1 interview, then a 1:2 interview, and finally an interview with the Branch Manager. Overall they were extremely easy to talk to and I felt no pressure at all. Knowing some information about global logistics is a huge plus but not a must. Like with any other company, do your research. Knowing about the company's history and current financial situation, will only help your cause. Be yourself, the company values a good sense of humor.
