Interviewed Jan 2012 in Miramar, FL (took 2 days)
HR called me and did a brief phone interview before they invited me in to meet with the manager. The manager was friendly, welcoming and personable while conversing with me and asking me questions about my background. Within minutes, she asked me to return for a second interview the following week. When I returned, I was greeted by a friendly panel who explained the position to me and asked general questions that weren't difficult -- specific questions about my resume. I was given a tour and told that they liked me and would get back to me within a week. A week passed. Two weeks passed. Emails and follow ups weren't answered. Several weeks later, I received an automoted email saying the position was filled. I thought that was inconsiderate, especially after they led me on and strung me along when I was told they would respond to me within a few days.
Overall, the people were nice so other than the lack of follow-up, it wasn't too bad.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took a day)
I had what I thought was a good interview with the company and they had stated that they'd get back to me within a week for an in person interview. Well 2 weeks came and went so I emailed just to follow up..heard nothing.2 months later..a rejection. The person that they hired for the job, let's just say not very well spoken and I;ll put it at that. I can see why people complain about this airline. VERY unprofessional

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Las Vegas, NV (took 3 days)
I attended an open invitation open house at the Flamingo in Las Vegas Nevada. Some applicants did apply online and get an invitation although those people received no special attention or preference. if you have a choice of a morning or afternoon interview, go with the morning sp that the whole process will be done with quicker ( and therefore less expensive if you traveled like I did). I flew in from Washington DC and they provided no compensation for this. Right now they are trying to fill up their new LAS base.
In my 2 PM interview there were about 60 or so people, all given a number to be identified by and the door closed promptly at 2! We were asked to stand up, say our number (if you did not you were automatically not considered) state why Spirit Airlines and why they should want us. They allocated 30 seconds per person. i spoke to the room but definitely made eye contact with the board of 4 people.
In about 30 minutes they invited us all back into the room once they were done deliberating. About 13 of us were asked back for a panel interview, THE NEXT DAY. On a Friday night in Vegas it was SUPER expensive to get a hotel room, but I did it anyway with price line. my interview was at 11 AM the following day with 5 other people. All of us were young and attractive. This interview was much more personable, We were asked to read an announcement, followed by mandatory applause. Then asked a simple question by one of the two women and expected to keep a conversational interview going for abut 3 minutes before they thanked you and moved onto the next person. They dismissed themselves and 5 minutes late asked 3 people to step out leaving 3 of us in the room. She came back in and congratulated us on being accepted. She did say that they liked that we all wanted to relocate to Vegas or already lived there. We been our paperwork and were sent to find our own way to a drug testing location about 15 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip. Our class was slated to begin 2 weeks after the interview!
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I originally accepted and then declined because of a better offer in a corporation where I already live. Relocating to Vegas from the East coast seemed daunting and expensive to me especially because they provided no relocation assistance and with only 2 weeks notice I simply did not have enough time to make it work. They wanted us to go to a month long training in Ft. Lauderdale FLA unpaid and that did not work for me either.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Miramar, FL (took 2 weeks)
Fairly straight forward interview. Started with a recruiter calling and asking to go over my resume, then I was asked to come in to the company's headquarters for a final interview. On the day of the final interview, I had several 30 to 45-min sessions with different managers and I was later asked to take a test. I was rather surprised when I received a rejection email.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
Met with the department manager one on one. Interviewer described the applied position, discuss the type of skills the company where looking for. Asked basic HR question, for instance, what are some things you like and dislike about your current job. Since the company is a ultra low cost carrier, do not expect a high salary, interviewer did discuss the health and flight benefits to compensate.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (took a day)
First, I received a call stating they received my online resume and if still interested they would like to schedule a person to person interview. When I arrived for the interview there were two supervisors. The interview began with basic questions and ended being a great interview experience. Interviewers were pleasant and made me feel very comfortable to openly answer all questions.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took a day)
I interviewed for a corporate manager position back in early December '10. Received an e-mail in late January '11 from hiring manager that no decision has been made, family, etc... A few weeks back dropped a voice mail and still no reply. Is this typical of the hiring process at Spirit? Why does it take soooo long to find out one way or the other...? Any insight would be helpful.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
Their interview process is very unprofessional as far as follow up. I had an extensive phone interview for a management position. I had my interview on a Thursday, and the department head conducting the interview stated that the beginning of the following week they would let me know either way yes or no if they wanted to bring me to their office for a face to face interview. Well a week and a half later and they did not let me know anything. I even emailed their HR rep that set up the interview about it and that person did not reply. VERY Unprofessional. At least they could answer the email..but it seems this is what companies do these days. "we will let you know" Means nothing.
