      Security Professional Interview

      Jul 2, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Chandler, AZ
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Allied Universal (Chandler, AZ) in May 2019

      Interview

      The company emailed me after I applied and asked that I do a video interview. I didn't and received a call a few days later for an in person interview. For the interview I was asked to sit down and fill out papers right away. The papers were the interview questions and a survey. While I filled it out, the director came in, sat across from ne, and watched me. It was a bit uncomfortable. I handed over the papers after completion and he literally started the interview by asking me the first question from the papers. That was a bit annoying but I answered anyways. I was there for maybe 2 hours. He described the job to me and pretty much made an offer. He said I would need to request time off from my other job for training purposes. I took the time off and training didn't even start. The job wasn't even as described in the interview. I felt like he tricked me because he was desperate for workers. I learned that 7-8 other employees quit before I had started. Quickly, I experienced what drove them away. I quit about 2 weeks into training and I don't regret it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself? Describe what the office looked like when you first walked in. How would you handle someone being rude? Why do you want to work for the company and why should we hire you? What do you know about the company?
