Easy Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Performance Food Group (New York, NY) in Oct 2023

Interview

Over the phone screening interview for a remote position. Interviewer had a pleasant demeanor. Described the role and asked about my experience. During the interview it became pretty obvious that this role was created because of some prior poor staffing and bad management decisions. The new role was created to combine the work that two staffers no longer employed into one role.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Performance Food Group (Dallas, TX) in Aug 2023

Interview

PFG uses and Application Tracking System, or ATS, to both scan applications/resumes. Additionally, I received a text to my cell phone from paradox.ai which asked me several basic questions about the role (legal status, prior work, ability, salary). I had to go to their job posting page to find out I was rejected on my candidate dashboard. Shame on them 1) for not letting me know and keeping me thinking I was in the running and 2) for allowing a computer to make a human's decision.

Difficult Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Performance Food Group (Richmond, VA) in Nov 2022

Interview

Feedback: The interviews with the Talent Acquisition Specialist & Hiring Managers were professional and felt genuine. I did not have that same experience with the Sr. Manager. The interviews with the Talent Acquisition Specialist & Hiring Managers were conducted via telephone/audio only conference and the interview with Sr. Manager was done via video conference. Though I could not see the Talent Acquisition Specialist or Hiring Managers, I could tell that they were smiling (at times laughing) and could connect with people. The Sr. Manager did not smile once and talked in a robotic, monotonous voice. I’m sure he’s a fantastic employee who works hard, but did not come off as affable or pleasant. Based off previous reviews for this position, it did not seem like an enjoyable position and one that was micromanaged.

Interview Questions
  • Nothing asked about the company itself, only asked about past job experience.

Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
