First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Essex Property Trust.
Data Analyst
Had an initial screening call where they asked some really basic questions. We talked about my resume, my skills, and what the job entails. They also gave me a heads-up on the hiring timeline and what to expect next: a technical test, more online interviews, and then a final in-person interview.
- On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your proficiency in Excel?
HR
I applied for the role on LinkedIn and heard back within two days for a video interview with the Talent Acquisition Manager that same week. The next Monday, I got an invite for a second interview with the Associate Experience Manager, which was on Wednesday. By Friday, I found out I wouldn't be moving forward. They mentioned it would be 3-4 virtual interviews and a final in-person one.
- Can you tell me about your background as reflected in your resume?
Design Coordinator
The process was super fast! I first talked to HR, then did a design assessment. After that, I met with the Hiring Manager and her team, and also her Manager on the same day. The conversations were really great with everyone. I really want to work there because everyone seemed so happy. HR was awesome, and so was everyone else I talked to!
- Do you have any problems with traveling to job sites?
Manager
The whole interview process took way too long, like over a month. The team was super inconsiderate and the HR kept giving me mixed info. They asked for a bunch of work samples (like excels). I had several zoom calls and then an on-site, which included a panel interview where I had to present a 'homework' case study. Honestly, it felt like they were just trying to steal ideas with these fake interviews. For a non-tech role, 5 rounds felt totally over the top. Ended up getting rejected after all that.
