    Easy Interview
    Application

    I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AvalonBay Communities (United States)

    Interview

    The interview was easy. HR was the worst part, lack of organization and not responsive to emails. They asked me a lot of questions and were easy to respond to.

    Please tell me about yourself. What did you do in your last position? What are your strength and weakness?
