Pretty simple process. First, I spoke with a recruiter, then the hiring manager, followed by some team members. The final step was an on-site interview at the airport. The first couple of chats were virtual or phone calls, and they took a while. All in all, it wasn't too tough.

The interview process was straightforward. I had just one video interview via Microsoft Teams with two airport operations managers. Most of the questions were behavioral, and I used the STAR method to answer them.

Behavioral

I got a call from HR to set up an interview for a job in Chicago, but the actual interview was in Texas. It was pretty straightforward, but the person interviewing me was really unprofessional. She also didn't communicate well with her HR team, giving me conflicting information. I didn't get an offer, which was fine because the hiring process at United seemed really disorganized.
