It was a phone interview. We went over availability and past experiences. I was also asked about how I could control fast paced environments and if I could keep a cool head if dealing with highly stressful situations.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Columbia Bank
Interview
Based in the position applied for, you will either meet with the store manager or several managers. You will be asked several questions about banking, experiences, goals. They will talk about the company and their expectations. You can ask about the future of the company and the merger. They shy away from talking about wage and compensation.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Columbia Bank in Jul 2016
Interview
Had four interviews. First was a phone interview with the manager. The second and third interview were a week apart and at the regional office (about 45-50 mins away from the location I applied to). At the third interview, I was told I was hired and was given an estimated start date. A manager from a few states away wanted a phone interview with me as mere formality. After that phone interview, the managers ghosted me and I never heard back. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Ghosting incoming employees after discussing hiring date/paperwork shows the lack of professionalism displayed by upper management.
