Senior Business Analyst at FedEx

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Dallas, TX Jun 2009 – Reviewed May 13, 2013

Interview Details – Hiring process at FedEx is rigorous. The interview process breaks into 3 elements: written skills exams, an applied topic presentation and a behavior interview. The written skills exam focused on understanding corporate finance at a high level and how this information impacts supply chain and transporatation strategy. The presention followed similar lines with the evaluation focused on your ability to communicate complex information. Finally, the behavioral interview is a series of scenarios base on your previous work history. Quality "x' is important in this job. Tell us of a time in your previous work experience you faced this scenario and used quality "x" to succeed.

Internal Audit Intern at FedEx

No Offer – Interviewed in Plano, TX Oct 2012 – Reviewed Apr 16, 2013

Interview Details – had an on campus interview and was selected to meet the team as a finalist. The team looked like they have not seen a sunlight for years. They were not very engaging and were very boring. Did not ask me any questions worth mentioning here. Not very good setting. Their building is also rented and it make you feel like you are at the mall. Some of them did not know what to ask and were awkwardly staring at me.

Interview Question – What do you know about Internal Audit   Answer Question

Sales Executive at FedEx

No Offer – Reviewed Apr 8, 2013

Interview Details – 3 divisions - FedEx Corp, FedEx Services, FedEx Supply Chain Services. Sales coverage is divided into 3 areas - FedEx express (domestic & intl air), FedEx Ground(parcel & home delivery), FedEx freight (LTL,TL). 3 types of sales roles in FedEx - inside sales(up to $50K trans spend all modes), field sales(based on # of facilities and multi-million $$ trans spend, Enterprise Sales (no cap and about 7-9 people doing this now at FedEx). First contact can be either an external recruiter or internal recruiter, but both are pre-steps before actual interview. Interview and Hiring process is 3 steps - 1st meeting is with an actual line manager (these people normally have 5-8 people under them) and they take turns in the managerial pool interviewing new outside applicants. This means the person who interviews you will most likely NOT be your actual manager if you are hired. Apparently, interviewing is expected of the line managers to be 10-15% of their time and they grudgingly perform these duties. 2nd step is with a panel interview of 3 managers, 3rd step is with the Managing Director of the branch location to personally vet and bless the candidate. Comp plan is weak - base was $60-65K and OTE was appx $16K per quarter even at 175% of quota. Basic sales metrics are - maintain current install base, and grow marginally by taking profitable accounts from UPS.

Interview Question – Arrogant 30 yr old line manager interviewing experienced Salespeople is a total mismatch of skillsets and knowledge of the Logistics markets. Apparently, when it's either FedEx or UPS in the market for consumer choice, it's an extremely difficult selling environment. (cue sarcasm please). Suggestion to FedEx mgmt. - Hire more experienced Salespeople and have more experienced SALES management. Looks like just 20-something kids in the field.   Answer Question

Software Engineer Intern at FedEx

No Offer – Reviewed Apr 8, 2013

Interview Details – Applied for a summer internship position. There was no formal phone interview, just a face to face interview.

This was the only interview they gave, you either nailed it and got the internship or you didn't.

They asked alot of behavior question and some technical ones.
So make sure you know how to answer it, and be sure you present yourself as someone who doesn't need to be micromanaged.

Interview Question – Why should we hire you?   View Answer
