It was a long but worthwhile interview process. It was tough but also quite engaging, with many brilliant individuals. The hiring and HR teams responded quickly. I'm pleased to have received an offer!

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It began with a phone screen with HR, but they couldn't answer my questions about job capabilities and support. Then, I had a Zoom interview with a planning director, asking typical questions about my experience and goals. The last part, weeks later, involved two 30-minute role-plays back-to-back, with the case studies given 30 minutes before. This was followed by a 45-minute final interview with the same director, who was quite cold and uninterested, and asked some really hard questions. They said I'd know about next steps in a few days, but I just got a standard email saying I didn't get the job. It felt really unprofessional at the end, and the questioning was intense, like an interrogation. I asked them to delete my application from their system.

It was a good experience overall, the people were great and things moved fast. It started with a recruiter call where they asked basic questions. Then there was a second call with HR, which included more in-depth questions and a WonScore assessment to complete beforehand. After that, I had a Zoom meeting with the Director of Planning. I was given some reading material and then asked more background and planning questions during the call. Next, there was a series of Zoom interviews, along with a writing assignment that simulated a typical workday at Facet and client interactions, basically a role play with a planning scenario. The final step was an interview with the CAO. The total time for all interviews was 2 hours and 45 minutes. The entire process took about 3 weeks.
