Interview

It was a panel interview. I enjoyed the process and I thought the questions were thorough and relevant. The panelists were some I knew, (and liked) and some I didn't know personally. They asked relevant questions and I was able to pitch myself as a team player and my desire to help the city.

Interview

Invited to 1st round- 6 person panel interview (no phone screen). Invited for 2nd round- 6 person panel interview about 2 weeks later. Same format both times, with hiring manager at each; 5 different HR pros from various departments on each panel. After introductions, was asked the usual "tell us about yourself" opener. It was explained that my answers to a set list of questions were being graded and that the highest scoring candidates would advance. At 1st interview, the only person that spoke aside from me was the hiring manager. Everyone else smiled, listened & took notes. At the 2nd interview, the only difference was that each panel member got to ask a question or two.

All interviewers were friendly and pleasant, yet the entire process was sterile, a bit cold, and lacked engagement & discussion. Hard to expect much from a monologue!

I was given a fair amount of time at the end to ask my questions, which was appreciated.
I sent out thank-yous to all involved. I was told that I'd hear back in one week, either way.
I haven't received any follow-up, whatsoever. Ghosted by HR professionals!!

Interview

Initial phone interview was 10 questions to assess fit based on my past experiences. The questions were straightforward and relevant to the role and seemed like they would be the same for all interviewees.

Interview

Very structured phone interview (30 minutes to answer six questions, graded on a rubric, not a convo at all) followed by in-person interview with the same structure. There were three evaluators at each interview--two people from Protections and one from Customer Service

Interview

Interview was like a question and answer panel. There was myself and 5 other people sitting at the table. I didn't expect to be questioned by 5 people at a rectangle table. It was like a tennis match trying to keep eye contact with different people asking you questions.
