Behavioral

I applied online, and about a week later, HR contacted me for an initial phone interview. The HR person asked some basic behavioral questions and inquired about my career aspirations. A week after that, I received a generic rejection email stating my qualifications didn't match their requirements. Despite my not-so-great experience, they're still a strong company.

I applied online, then had a phone chat with HR. The next week, I had another phone chat with the hiring manager. They were both nice and made it feel less scary. About two weeks after that, I got a standard email saying I wasn't a good fit for the job.

Behavioral Other

It was a basic 3 person panel interview, where they tried to ask as many questions as they could. They used a personality test called the Winslow, and if you didn't score well on that, it was game over even if your interview went well.

First I had to answer some questions on paper, I think they were about how I handle customer service. Then I did a quick phone interview, took a personality test that was pretty tedious, and finally interviewed with three people.
