I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Verizon
Interview
Completed three interview rounds, including a session with the full team. The process felt perfectly balanced—highly professional yet refreshingly informal. I really appreciated the transparent culture and welcoming team dynamic. Although, a little old school.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What didn't you like about your last role and/or company?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Verizon (Basking Ridge, NJ) in Jun 2008
Interview
Very tough, had to do a business case on a white board, asked probing questions and very challenging. The point of the white board exercise was to see how I could handle business planning under pressure. But in the end I did get the job. I went from a phone interview to 2 1:1 interviews, to job offer in a matter of weeks.
