First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at First American Financial Corporation.
IT Analyst
This company's interview process was really unprofessional. I should have known when the same job kept getting posted for four months straight, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. They contacted me via voicemail and then an email that didn't even mention the company name, which was weird. I only figured out who it was from the email address. The first impression was terrible and showed how disorganized they are. It got worse during the phone interview with the hiring manager and two others. When I talked about being team-oriented, the hiring manager said there would be many times I wouldn't know what to do and the team wouldn't be there to help, asking how I'd deal with the stress. This is for an entry-level role, and it sounded like a toxic environment with no support. Then another interviewer asked me about the risks of a company I used to work at, which I had no idea about. When I asked about training and development, one guy was dismissive, saying I'm in charge of my own development and they rarely reimburse costs. He also implied that for an entry-level role, they wouldn't expect me to need training and would expect me to hit the ground running on Day 1. I did not move forward, thankfully. It's a mess, and it's no wonder the job was reposted so many times.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- How would you handle the stress if you were in a situation where you didn't know what to do and the team wasn't available to assist you?
- From your perspective, what are the risks associated with [company I used to work at]?
Business Systems Analyst
There were 2 rounds of interviews. The first was a phone call with the hiring manager, who described the job duties and what they expected. The questions were mostly about my background and if I would be a good fit. The second interview was in person with the Sr. director, who is the hiring manager's boss. We talked more about the job and the project goals.
- Are you knowledgeable on specific job functions?
Business Analyst
I got a call from a consultancy for an interview in FAI. There wasn't a telephonic round, but there were 3 interview rounds. First, I met with a Lead BA, then had a Technical round with the Project Manager, and finally, an HR round.
- Can you tell me about the projects you've worked on?
- What methods do you use for impact analysis?
- How would you handle PMO-level scenarios and what solutions would you propose on the spot?
