I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
The application process was very straightforward through the Verizon portal. I applied online by submitting my resume and reviewing the online form to add any pertinent information. I was contacted about a week and a half later by a recruiter to set up a phone interview. I set up a phone interview 2 weeks later, although I did have the option to do this immediately. The recruiter was very thorough in explaining details about the position and opportunities to advance at Verizon. She then asked some background questions about work history and then went into behavioral questions. The interview was fluid. If you read through a variety of Glassdoor interviews and spend time looking at behavioral questions and thinking about your past work experience, you will do fine in a phone interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Verizon (Eugene, OR) in Feb 2026
Interview
Initial Interview was professional. Interviewer was candid about the roles day to day. It seemed lots of people were unaware of how much field time may have been in the job prior to applying.
A very long and tedious interview process that could be improved. Reducing the interviews to no more than 3 would benefit all parties involved. In addition, the discussions should be no longer than 30 - 45 minutes in length.

Question 1
Describe a time when you had a disgruntled customer, and how did you resolve it?
a little lengthy and follow up could be better. Would rather be told no then left up in the air as to why you weren't chosen. However if you are chosen they move rather quickly
