I applied online and then had an initial phone interview. After that, I came in person and they got back to me within a week. They did mention that I should keep applying elsewhere and they would get back to me in a timely manner. I have interviewed at a lot of places and OSU has been the most professional and efficient.

The process at osu involves group interviews where you'll be in a conference room with 3 to 6 people who could be your managers, peers, or clients from another department. This is followed by background and fingerprint checks, making it a lengthy procedure. The difficulty varies depending on the questions asked; I interviewed for several accounting roles, some felt easy and comfortable, but others were nerve-wracking. I didn't get some of those positions and am still awaiting feedback on others.
