I applied through university. I interviewed at Pioneer Investment (Boston, MA)
Interview
Applied through college careers site, there was only one round of interview with 3 different people on same day. First was hr. Then she took me to Vice President. Senior VP was on video call while talking to vp.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Pioneer Investment (Boston, MA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Submitted resume online and contacted for HR screen within a couple of weeks. Went in for first round the following week and second round 4 weeks later. Hiring manager was supposed to interview me during the first round but he ended up not coming into work that day so I was interviewed be two other employees in the department. Scheduled second round interview was cancelled the morning of because of scheduling conflicts. Rescheduled for later in the week. The interviewer had less than a half hour before they had to go into a meeting so the interview was very quick. Followed up with HR every other week for 1 1/2 months and was told that they would have an answer soon. Never ended up hearing back from them. I took time off from current job which included using PTO for the rescheduled interview. The lack of even a notification that I didn't get the job seems well outside of current industry norms and for that matter common courtesy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Take me through your resume? What makes you suitable for this job?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pioneer Investment (Omaha, NE) in Feb 2011
Interview
I was interviewed by HR and then one of the CSR managers. Very standard interview format. I went through a staffing agency, so the skills/personality tests were administered by them before I interviewed with Pioneer. The interview lasted about half an hour, and was very straightforward. The questions were standard-issue interview questions (tell me about a time you solved a complex problem, tell me about a time you had to rely on leadership to overcome an issue, etc.), nothing flashy.
