Negotiation Details – Offered salary 10% higher than what was discussed in the interview

Interview Details – Group presentation about FedEx and the position itself. This was followed by 2-3 face to face interviews. At this point you must take a personality exam and pass the drug/background checks.

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 Details – Its been two weeks and still have not heard from anybody

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 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.
