The interview process is simple. Once you apply, they send an assessment video to practice. Then there are 2 virtual interviews. The first is with a team of managers, then the last is with the regional director. You also have to review a resume.

Behavioral Technical
A week after I applied, HR sent an email with a pre-screen of questions to answer. I sent my answers on Wednesday, and the next day (Thursday) at about 9:45pm, HR asked if I could interview the next day (Friday) at 9am. I couldn't make it and didn't like the short notice, so I offered my availability and asked about other times. After no response, I followed up the next Monday and we scheduled the interview for that Thursday. It was a video call with 3 interviewers. The interview format was unusual: one person asked all their questions (about 5), then moved on, while the other two had their cameras off. It felt impersonal and rude. One interviewer lost connection mid-answer and the other two just waited silently. When I asked questions at the end, two interviewers were nice, but the third, who lost connection, was short with answers or didn't respond, seeming rude. I was told HR would follow up on next steps, but it's been over a month with no word, so I assume I didn't get the job, which is fine since I accepted a better role.

It was a four-round process: first a Hiring Manager screening, then a Team Panel interview and a Leadership 1:1. Also had a take home work simulation project (mock resume review /career advising overview). The process was pretty seamless, transparent and communicative. The team was warm and welcoming, and many of the department members have been with the university for several years and some for decades, which gives a good impression of the work environment and culture.

Group Presentation
This was one of the most thorough interviews I’ve been through. They started with a half-day group interview where they had staff members posing as candidates to observe everyone during breaks. The next step was a full presentation where I had to show them how I'd tackle a problem they frequently encounter. They were nice and wanted to hire me, but I declined. The use of 'plants' in the group interview felt a bit too underhanded for my liking.
