I got referred by an employee and had two video interviews. It was pretty simple and organized. First, I talked to the recruiter about my background and why I wanted the job. Then, I had a final panel interview with three hiring managers where they asked mostly behavioral questions about teamwork, solving problems, and my past experiences. I wish I'd gone into more detail with my examples, even though I used the STAR method. It was a good, professional interview overall.

So, the hiring manager didn't even show up for my interview; it was just their peers. The questions they asked weren't related to the job description at all, and there were no behavioral questions, and they didn't seem to care about what I do. The whole interview was about very specific job functions that weren't even mentioned in the job description, which totally caught me off guard. When I asked about the hiring manager, they told me I'd be reporting to all of them, which really set off some red flags for me.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. It started with a phone screen with the internal recruiter, followed by a first round zoom interview with a lead developer, and then a second round in-person interview with the team. I thought I did well and the team seemed warm and receptive, but then I was completely ghosted. I reached out to the recruiter multiple times for next steps or a decision and never got a response. I followed up again for feedback and got nothing. The job market is really bleak and difficult right now, especially for entry-level roles, and this kind of unprofessionalism is unacceptable, especially from a big company like US Bank. It's already hard enough out here, don't make it worse.

I had just been laid off from U.S. Bank after working there for eight years and applied for an in-store Banker position (CRC is the new fancy name). The first question the recruiter asked me was: "So tell me, are you familiar with U.S. Bank's culture?"... NO JOKE. I was speechless, then I gently explained how after having worked in various roles for the past 8 years I know blah blah blah... She responded: "Oh so you've worked for us"... Absolutely Shocked I would like to point out how as a former employee and a severance impacted employee, my applications DO LOOK different to the recruiters, so I'm not sure how she missed that.
