Customer Service Manager at Washington Mutual

Posted Oct 16, 2009

3.0
Average Interview
Overall Neutral Experience Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed May 2007 (took 1+ week)

The interview was for an internal position at the company I was working for. Although I knew the hiring manager, we did know each other well and I dont believe he had much prior knowledge of my skills and experience. I was asked very few typical interview questions. The majority of the questions were presentation of a task and asking what I would do in the situation or presenting a challenge and asking how I would overcome it. I was given the opportunity to tell him "anything else I think he should know" and I used that as my chance to provide answers to the "unasked" questions about my experience and skills.

Interview Questions

How will you exceed the accomplishments of the prior manager?

Other Details

The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Easy Interview
Overall Neutral Experience Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Chicago, IL (took a day)

I intyerviewed with the manager and asst. manager one on one. They asked questions about my personal experience in the role as a teller from another bank. The asst manager knew my current manager and came from the bank I was in the process of leaving so she asked a lot of personal questions too. That made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Interview Questions

Personal questions about people I worked with and if we were friends?
How well do you like your asst manager?

Negotiation Details

Negotiate your salary if you have experience and also specify your scheduling limitations in the begining if any.

Difficult Interview
Overall Neutral Experience Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Jul 2007 in Vernon Hills, IL (took 1 week)

Applied for marketing job online. Heard back from HR rep a couple of weeks later. Did well enough on the phone screen to make it to personal interviews about a week later. Day of interview had 2 one on one interviews. Asked about knowledge of company, highlights of career, strengths, weaknesses, and any project experience (dealing with cross functional teams). Both interviewers took notes. At end, asked specific questions about culture of company. Got the sense that things were very stressful as many people were let go and a "skeleton" crew was left. Sounded like there was so much work for too few people. Don't know if that is the kind of environment one would strive for at a company.

Interview Questions

How would you work with cross functional teams from this location given that HQ is in Washington State and we are a satellite office?
How would you deal with stressful environment of having so much on your plate?

Other Details

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.
