Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Big Brothers Big Sisters
They made me do three interviews that were essentially all the same. They said they would get back to me within a week before completely ghosting me. They said I was completely qualified and that I would do well in the position. I would at least appreciate an automated rejection email. The whole process was extremely unprofessional. Do not apply unless you enjoy getting your time wasted.

The interview process was great. I think they got a great understanding of the skills I bring and I got a great understanding of the skills they're looking for. I am excited to work for this company!

There was a phone and then zoom interview I didn’t hear back after the second. I assume they went another direction but did not contact me, which I thought was a little rude

Great and everything was easy. It’s good when you can be among positive people. I wish the business great success now and forever. They make you feel comfortable and the atmosphere was awesome.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. I interviewed at Big Brothers Big Sisters
I interviewed with a recruiter who was very distracted during our initial 30-min. discussion. I was thrown off by the recruiter pausing in the middle of our interview to email their supervisor. There was a five-minute break where the individual went off-camera to send a message. While I ended up advancing beyond this stage, I was really thrown off from the lack of professionalism. This sort of behavior wouldn't be acceptable from a candidate -- even in an emergency.

Very straightforward. Interviewers were kind and easy going yet professional. I was interviewed by three staff members and received an offer letter less than 1 month from when I applied for the job.
- Basic. Asked about past experiences and transferable skills, knowledge about the company, etc.

It was a longggg process to be a big. This is definitely a time commitment. They did provide information throughout the process so I know what i was getting myself into. I wish it was a much simpler process.
- Why do you want to be a big?

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Big Brothers Big Sisters (Albuquerque, NM) in Oct 2022
The interview process was not that difficult. I completed a phone screen, in-person interview, drug test, reference and background checks. Once all that is completed I could tell them my start date.

Quite long but interesting. Basically dig everything about you. I don’t mind that. Children’s mental condition need that much work. It’s nice that they want to make sure you will be fine for the kids.
- What’s your relationship with your parents, kids, partner and friends

Anonymous Employee
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Big Brothers Big Sisters in Aug 2022
Overall a very nice experience. There is a pre-screen interview about 20 mins, the interviewer was super friendly. Then another formal interview with the team about 1 hour. There were a lot of questions about how to handle different situations. Everyone was very supportive and friendly which made me less nervous.
- Do you know about our organization and our programs? Why do you want to work here? What's your strength and weakness?
