I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2023
After I submitted my application, I was invited to complete the online questionnaire which involved scenario and personality questions. You received a link to a video recording (virtual interview) after which involved recording yourself answering a number of other scenario questions. After my video interview was evaluated, I was invited to the face to face interviews in Seattle, WA. It was a day-long interview event that was very welcoming and informal. First round was individual interviews, second was group interviews and we finished with a last round of individual interviews. After, you were told if you received a conditional job offer (CJO) or thanks but no thanks (TBNT).

It starts with a group interview where you read a script so they can get a feel for your public speaking skills, and then you have to answer a situational question and participate in a group activity. Then they take each person back for one-on-one interviews, and if they like you after that, you get taken upstairs to a second interview.
