Giant Eagle Interview Questions & Reviews in Cleveland, OH Area

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Bedford Heights, OH (took 2 days)

There were no human resources positions posted when I originally explored career opportunities at Giant Eagle, so I submitted my resume without reference to a particular job. I was contacted a few weeks later by a Giant Eagle recruiter about a job opportunity focused on new software implementation and employee training. He asked me some basic questions and then scheduled me for a first round interview phone interview with him later that week. The phone interview lasted about an hour and consisted largely of behavior and scenario based interview questions. The interviewer was very upbeat and easy to talk to. He gave me a good amount of feedback during our conversation. The interviewer then went on to describe further details about the job and then went into more specific details on salary/benefits. He then invited me for a second round interview with a hiring manager, and I scheduled one for the following week.

The 1:1 interview was with a regional hiring manager who worked out of the GE HQ in Pittsburgh. The interview lasted about an hour and a half and was formatted similarly to the phone interview with more behavior and scenario based interview questions. I was asked many details about situations where I had handled specific types of problems in previous jobs and what the outcome was. It was very professional, but I felt comfortable and at ease. I was able to ask questions about GE and get a good sense of the company dynamic, which seemed positive.

I was later offered the position after other human resources issues had been attended to (background check, drug test, paperwork).
