Behavioral Technical

It was a pretty chill chat with the sales manager, just the two of us. He was pretty efficient and direct. I got there a little early, so we actually kicked off ahead of schedule. The whole thing took about 10 minutes. He asked two questions about my past work, one about why I'm interested in this company, and then about five personal questions that weren't really about the job itself.

Behavioral

So I had this quick 15 min phone screen first, then they set me up for three 45 min interviews. They all ran over, so I ended up spending about three hours total interviewing. UScellular apparently uses the "STAR" method, so it was three hours of basically answering the same kind of situation-based questions. It was pretty rough, and the interviewers seemed a bit awkward with it all. And then... nothing. They ghosted me. Seriously, if you're gonna make someone interview for 3 hours, the least you could do is send a rejection email.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process began with a remote video technical interview featuring one or two managers. I was informed that additional STAR-format behavioral interviews would be scheduled soon. Three consecutive one-hour interviews were arranged within the same week. I had the flexibility to reschedule them, but I opted for a continuous three-hour interview block. The interviewers were personable and supportive. There were no misleading or difficult questions. The interviews primarily consisted of classic behavioral inquiries. It appeared they were following a script and took notable pauses to record my answers. Some of the follow-up questions seemed spontaneous and well-considered.

Behavioral

The first interview was pretty good, honestly one of the best HR interviews I've had lately. The company mentioned a hybrid work setup with one day a week in the office, which got me really excited because it seemed like a great fit. They seemed really up-to-date with the times and innovative. But then, when we got to the actual interview process, they changed the tune. They said the 1 day/week thing wasn't set in stone and I'd actually need to come in more often than initially stated. It felt like a bait and switch, a real catfishing situation for the job. So, a heads-up: if they promise you a 1 day/week schedule, make sure to get it in writing. Otherwise, you might end up with a 5 day/week job.
