Brandt Information Services Interview Questions
& Process

I first learned about Brandt at my school's part-time job fair. I gave them my resume right then, though the manager for my department said I could just email it to her. That's pretty much how referrals work – if you're referring someone, she wants them to send her a resume. After they looked at my resume, I got a call for a scheduled phone interview. Honestly, they didn't ask anything too weird or hard. I think the point of the phone interview, after being here a while, is just to weed out bad candidates and get a feel for their personality. After the phone interview, they'll call you back for an in-person interview at their office. The questions they ask are pretty basic and straightforward. They asked a lot about how well you work in a team because they really value that as part of their company culture (everyone works in teams). But there's another catch.

I applied for a different role but after talking about my background and salary needs, they said that position didn't pay enough and suggested the Account Manager role instead. I was hesitant but thought it could be a good company and a potential career path. There were 3 interviews in total: a tech screen with a recruiter, an hour-long chat with someone who used to do this job, and a final hour interview with a VP. Everyone was really nice and by the end, I was really excited about the role and the work. Then came the offer call, and the salary was 2/3rds of what I asked for, and they wouldn't negotiate. If they had shared that salary upfront, I probably wouldn't have gone through the interviews. I felt misled and like my time was wasted. Also, they are recruiting for this role in Colorado and didn't post the salary range, which is against the law there. It's probably a great company and they'll keep growing, but being pushed into a different role and then feeling undervalued in the offer, especially after clearly stating my salary expectations, really turned me off. So I declined the offer.

I applied online and a few days later the manager sent me an email to do an online assessment and schedule an interview at their location. Three days after that, I got there early because of traffic and waited for an hour. There were others before me, and we all had to take another test before the interview. The test took 25 minutes, and then I had the interview. It wasn't a group thing, but it was in an open area. She asked me general questions.

I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn about this role. We scheduled a screening call which went well. Then I interviewed with the VP of Finance, the hiring manager. That interview also seemed to go well. I asked about the next steps. He mentioned that since he's pretty new to the company, he wanted to set up an interview with the controller. However, the second interview never happened. They ended up reposting the job three more times. They never got back to me about the interview or if I was moving forward. Communication was extremely poor.
