I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Ryan Homes (Columbia, MD) in Apr 2017
Interview
First I had a phone interview with a representative and then moved on to a panel interview in Columbia, MD. The panel interview consisted of 4 separate interviews with senior administrators, taking about 4 hours. They use the STAR technique for interview questions, which I thought was easy to prepare for given the resources on the method. Overall it was very pleasant, all the interviewers were very kind and easy to talk to.
I applied online. I interviewed at Ryan Homes in Jun 2026
Interview
Had a phone screening with a Regional HR rep that led to an in-person interview. The in-person interview was extremely structured which was a breath of fresh air. I had the opportunity to interview with 2 panels one had 3 people the other had 2. Each panel was limited to 45 minutes with a 10 minute gap in-between. The interviewers we current supervisors most of whom started in the roll I interviewed for. They were able to provide excellent insight into the roll and answer the questions I had about it. They allowed me to talk about my relevant experience and asked maybe 4 or 5 questions total but nothing out of the ordinary
Very STAR based questions. They ask you to talk about a time you experienced a certain situation, and you tell them what happened. The entire interview was about 2 hours long, three different interviewers back to back.

Talk about a time I dealt with a difficult customer.
Panel interview with 5 production managers. Normal questions and nice guys. Just getting a feel for you as a person and your experience. It was simple and nothing too crazy.
