Interview
Normal process
I submitted my application online and was contacted by HR.
Following an initial conversation with HR i was selected for a phone interview with department head and an in person interview with current team members.
The phone interview with department head started off poorely as he was 30 minutes late, but after speaking the department head i found him to be a great advocate of the company and position. Our conversation was meaningful and made very interested in working for him and the company
The in person interview was with 2 members of the current team. This interview was a poor reflection of what the department head had told me. The group interview lasted about 10 minutes of their questions which were only 3. And another 10 minutes of my own questions regarding the position and company, but sadly the interviewers were unable to answer most of my questions,
Overall i would rank this interview as poor due to low interactivy of in person interviewers and seemingly poor company value and employee reimbursment. I was told "this position required at least 60+ hours per week with below industry average salary"
Three total phone interviews and one in person. Pretty straightforward interview. There wasn't a ton of technical questions, they mostly just want to get to know you. There were a couple questions about some basic financial terms but nothing complicated.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zayo
Interview
It was pretty laid back. I was taken to a conference room and three different interviewers came in for about 30 minutes each. They asked me about my resume, about my interests, and gave me some brief behavioral-type questions. Everyone was very friendly and conversational.
The office was very modern and clean, and it looked like people enjoyed working there. Some were dressed very casually, and I felt like I was slightly overdressed for the interview.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zayo in Dec 2015
Interview
I had a phone interview with my potential supervisor. She was really friendly, honest, and focused more on explaining the role than actually checking my qualifications. Overall, very relaxed and gave me a good idea of what the position was going to be. Within a few days, I was told over email that they would "LOVE to offer me the position" and HR was working on an offer letter. A week later, nothing. I reached out to my original interviewer, and she assured me it was on it's way. Another week later (after I had stopped looking for other positions) and I was told the group was on a hiring freeze, so I would not be offered the position. It was extremely misleading, frustrating, and overall really detrimental to my view of the company. DO NOT OFFER SOMEONE A POSITION UNTIL YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO SO.
