I applied online and received a call to set up a phone interview within a week. Per the interviewer, questions had to be answered "concisely but succinctly." However, the interviewer pushed me to answer questions as quickly as possible, 50 questions in 30 minutes. I felt as though they rushed me through the interview without providing proper time to answer questions. Did not feel as though I was given adequate consideration as a candidate.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gallup (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2016
Interview
During the application you complete a behavioral quiz that is basically their Strengthsfinder 2.0 questions. I had applied for a survey research job but the quiz must have said I was better suited for a Client Services Consultant position because I received an interview date for that position. It was frustrating because the first phone interviews are with interviewers who know nothing about the position, so couldn't find out what happened to the survey position.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
I prepared based off of the behavioral questions other people put up here, a lot of them were the same, the ones about performance based compensation, etc. Would you rather have a pleasant but average worker or someone who excels but is difficult to work with. Most of them were either strengthsfider 2.0 questions.
I appreciate their process and what they're trying to do with the strengthsfider survey, and match people to their strengths, but I think they need a little more HR communication with applicants-- it comes off a little inhumane and one-sided to fire a bunch of questions at you and record it, but you are not able to find out more about the position or process really.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gallup in Jul 2014
Interview
I applied online through a referral. One week later I got a call to make an appointment with them for a telephone interview. It was one week between the call and the interview. The telephone interview was about 45 minutes. You can ask the interviewer to repeat the questions , he will repeat exactly what the question is , instead of any explanation. They told me if I passed the first telephone interview , I would have a second telephone interview and then a personal interview, But 3 days later , I got an Email to say there is no position matching my strengths at the moment.
