The interview was good and they asked really technical questions about my past experience and how it connects with the role I'm applying for. They were nice, and each question had two to three parts, which made it a bit hard to remember everything, but they were helpful in repeating them.

Technical Behavioral

I had a panel interview with five interviewers. They had a set of written questions but also asked follow-up questions based on my answers. The questions were tough and probing, as if they were looking for something specific in my experience that they couldn't quite define but hoped my responses would reveal. The next steps involved a phone interview with a hiring manager in another state and two more in-person interviews with senior management. This process was different from my previous experiences at MAXIMUS.

Behavioral

I had an interview at Maximus with HR and the Call Center Manager. They hired me directly but I had to go through AppleOne temp agency for the first 90 days. The whole process felt disorganized and time consuming. I left my full-time job for this role because I was excited about helping people find work. However, once I started, it was incredibly disorganized from paperwork to training. The training manager told inappropriate stories and didn't train us well on the systems. Half of my training group was let go via email stating their assignment had ended. It was a terrible experience that left me homeless and unemployed.
