The first round was a phone call with someone from HR. Second round was a brief, phone interview with the hiring manager. Third round was on-site with the hiring manager. Overall it seemed to go well - the hiring manager was very personable, and the interview ended with the manager saying they would be in touch within the next week or so. Well, now it is six weeks later, and I've had no contact - even though I sent a follow-up "thank you" email after two weeks, expressing continued interest in the position - a perfect opportunity to say "thanks, but no thanks." I recognize that everyone is busy, but it's really quite terrible they chose not to send a one or two line email after that many rounds of interviewing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were very straight-forward, mostly technical about analytics software.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CBRE (Dallas, TX) in Apr 2016
Interview
I had 6 interviews over the period of two months. I had two interviews with HR, one with the first Hiring Manager, one with a team member, another with a different Hiring Manager, and the VP of Operations for the department.
I believe that there were too many interviews with the same questions. Ultimately, the offer came down to myself and someone in-house. I was not offered the job as they went with the person already working at CB. Statistically, most of the time an in-house employee is a finalist for a job, the company will go with the current employee. Had I known this was the situation in my case, I may not have focused so much energy with this company.
Overall, this was a very professional experience with CB. Everyone one of the interviewers were professional and courteous. Although I was not offered the job, I was told that myself and the person who was offered the job were both qualified and they liked the both of us. The deciding factor was that the other person was already working at CB. I was given constructive criticism on my interview skills, basically told to condense my answers some. I appreciated the feedback and I will continue to look to this company for other opportunities. Basically, I was not offered this job, but I will get a job at this company eventually, I guarantee that!
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CBRE (Boston, MA) in Apr 2015
Interview
First there was as screening call from a Representative that summarized the basic expectations of the position and asked me a few questions about my personal life, academic record, future endeavors, and background with this specific software. After that call I was contacted by a branch manager located closer to my home and was asked to come in for an interview. I was interviewed by a finance account manager initially, then the branch manager that contacted me. We discussed the position in greater detail and I was asked to go through my resume and why I would be a good fit for this position.
