The interview was a great experience. It started with a telephone screening by a recruitment manager who was polite and asked relevant questions for the Assistant Store Manager position. This was followed by a face-to-face interview with two branch managers, which lasted about 1.3 hours and was quite intense as they were looking for the right candidate. The company, Big Yellow, takes pride in its recruitment process. Finally, there was another face-to-face interview and on-the-job experience where I was shown my daily tasks, which is helpful before starting. Overall, the interview process was smooth and relaxed, and all my questions were answered informatively.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process was really pleasant. I felt at ease from the moment I arrived. The interviewer was very friendly and made me feel welcome. First, I had to answer some math problems and complete a mock email task, which weren't too difficult. Then, my interviewer and I toured the storage units, where we discussed the day-to-day responsibilities of the role. Finally, we sat down in the interviewer's office for some standard interview questions. I felt confident and comfortable the entire time. Sadly, I didn't get the job, which was disappointing as I thought it would be a great place to work. Despite not being hired, I'd definitely recommend Big Yellow. I hope to apply again.

Technical Behavioral

I applied online and got called in for an interview. First, I had to take a math test that involved a lot of percentages, and then write an email to a customer who wanted to cancel their subscription. After that, I had a face-to-face interview with the store manager where I was asked standard competency questions. They never got back to me after the interview, and my application status on their career website is still 'being processed.' The interview process itself was good, but the lack of a response was unprofessional and disappointing.

Behavioral Technical Coding

So the interview process is pretty standard. It starts with a recruiter call to go over your background and make sure you're a good fit. Then there's a phone screen, which is usually a technical call. After that, you'll likely have a technical screen, which might involve some coding. The final stage is the onsite interviews, which typically include a mix of technical and behavioral questions.
