I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Delta Air Lines (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2010
Interview
Initially met the recruiters at a company presentation recruiting for analysts in the Financial Analysis division. Dropped my resume through the campus recruiting website and was selected for the interview. The entire first round was technical, relating to Delta. Luckily, I had networked and spoken with the recruiting manager several times so he already knew me on a personal basis. The questions were hypothetical situations that could happen at Delta and what the implications were for Financial Analysis. examples included:
- What if Delta bought another airline, how would synergies be accomplished?
- Given Y fixed cost, Z cost per passenger, and ABC variable costs, how many tickets would we have to sell to break even?
- What are the financial implications when considering building a new facility? Buying a new soft drink to be served on board?
Second round interview was at the office with two members of the team and very similar questions with a few behavioral as well. Then they gave offers.

Interview
I interviewed with 2 employees. One was pretty laid back but the manager was downright confrontational. It really turned me off as I would not work to work in this environment. I got a call later from a Delta Employee asking if I would be interested in pursuing other openings. I turned them down as I did not want to go through the process again.
