NEI Global Relocation Interview Questions
& Process

HR called to set up a phone screen, which I did a couple days later. Then they brought me in for an in-person interview, and after that, they checked my references. The whole thing took about two weeks.

Applied for the International Assistant Account Executive role and got a call pretty quickly for a phone screen where they asked basic questions about my background and salary expectations. Then we scheduled an in-person interview for the following week. This in-person was with HR, asking pretty standard personality, behavior, and past experience questions. After that, I had to do a 30-minute skills assessment and write up responses for two client scenarios. A week passed without hearing back, so I reached out to the HR contact, but they never replied, and I never heard from the company again. I guess I didn't get the job, but it's really unprofessional to not get back to an applicant, especially after they interviewed in person and did assessments. I wouldn't apply with this company again.

The interview process began with a phone interview, followed by a battery of tests and assessments conducted in person. Then, there was an interview with an HR Representative and finally, an interview with the department supervisors for the position. The interviews and assessments up to that point went very well, and I enjoyed interacting with the staff who were very personable and professional. However, the interviews with the department supervisors were disappointing. The two supervisors seemed insecure and repeatedly asked questions about my gender and age. They asked how I would feel as a man taking orders from a female superior. Despite assuring them that it wouldn't be a problem and that most of my past work experience was with female supervisors in female-dominated fields (Animal Care, Non-Profit Shelter, Animal Medical, and Customer Service), they continued to press the issue. One supervisor asked how I, as a young man with exciting work experience, would react to being given boring, repetitive tasks by her, a female superior. I responded that I'm available for any task, but the supervisor seemed disbelieving and reiterated the question. I was disappointed because the process was hopeful until meeting the supervisors. I didn't get a job offer, and I likely wouldn't have been comfortable in that department anyway. I considered expressing my disappointment about the unprofessional and discriminatory tone, but I felt it would be a waste of time given the company's proudly displayed 83% female workforce and commitment to female advancement. While I understand and have always spoken up against discrimination against women, it's sad that, in my opinion, discriminatory considerations were made during my evaluation. I am a young, white, male professional, which might be why I didn't pursue the situation further at the time. It's been over a year, but I'm sharing this in case others have had a similar experience.

I was first contacted by the internal Recruiting Manager via email. Then I had a phone call to discuss my viability and learn about the position. This was followed by a second phone interview with the Chief Global Mobility Officer. Finally, I was flown to the office for a full day of onsite interviews with the Senior Management team.
