I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Franklin Templeton (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Oct 2012
Interview
Started with HR department for a screening and skills test. Basic typing, Microsoft Office assessment. Once that was completed, I moved on to the hiring supervisor a few weeks later. Very informal interview with standard questions. There was another supervisor in the room and they both jotted down notes after every question, so there was some awkward silence, but overall a good experience.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Franklin Templeton (San Mateo, CA)
Interview
Applied online. HR then got in contact with me to schedule a 1hr phone interview, then I was contacted again for an in person interview. The HR interview was very pleasant. Too bad the rest of the experience was not. I was interview by three separate people, each individually for 30 minutes. While each person who interviewed me was cordial, there was certainly something very off. There were many inappropriate remarks made in the interview regarding the previous person who held the position I interviewed for, on top of anecdotes sandwiched into my interview about things other employees do. Rarely was I asked a question about myself, it was me listening to three people talk about themselves and the job, not much interest in what I had to say (except for the 2nd interviewer). I haven't even heard back as to whether or not I have been offered the job, but I can say that the in-person interview left such a bad taste in my mouth that I am 100% un-interested in moving forward in any part of the process.
