BB&T Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Initial phone interview with HR. Basic questions about myself, why I want to work in banking, and surprisingly some behavioral questions but nothing too difficult.
Got a call back to interview in Winston. Interviewed with two separate team leaders for about an hour each. They asked all kinds questions. I can't remember anything specific, but they were mostly situational/behavioral questions that required wordy answers. Nothing that really blew me away though or caught me off guard completely. Very standard and straight forward.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation because I was right out of college.

Interview Details Simple straightforward interview that consisted of interviewing with two people. Both started off introducing themselves and then went on to them telling me about the company and duties for the position I applied for.

 The negative aspect of the interview was that although I interviewed with two people, one was exceptionally professional which was the manager of the department. The other interviewer, however looked out of place and was like a deer-in-the-headlights during the whole interview. It seemed as if he didn't have the interviewing experience and had little to no confidence even though he said he had over 10 years of experience in the industry.

Interview Details Applied for the LDP through my university and got an on campus interview. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and mainly consisted of behavior questions/leadership questions. Some of the questions were, describe your leadership ability, tell me about a time you failed, and what are some ethical problems in banking.

Interview Details They asked the same basic questions of every interview.
What are your Strengths
What are your Weaknesses
What are your Goals.
Why do you want to work for BB&T

I was at a college campus so they just met me there. I was not given another opportunity to move forward.

Interview Details When BB&T post job vacancy's it doesn't necessarily mean there is an open position. More often then not, BB&T is gathering a pool of qualified applicants for future openings, it could be months before after applying before actually being called for an interview. First interview is a telephone interview. They ask you questions pertaining to your skill level with various functions related to the job. Next you will be ask to complete an online mock call scenario. After satisfactory completion, then you will be ask in for the final interview.

Interview Details Phone interview with a recruiter, who found me online. Scheduled an interview with the boss, in-office, and spent an hour with XXXXX. Then, met with four or five members of the team, who interviewed me as well.

Negotiation Details – All negotiations went through the headhunter. Money was good, but asked for -- and received -- an extra week of vacation. So, do the same. Tell them you want three weeks vacation to start.

Interview Details I interviewed with two branch managers (FCL) first. Next it was with the Sales and Service leader (DM) after taking an online evaluation. It was pretty straight forward. Many branch positions have a preselected candidate that is going to be hired after interviews are conducted. It would benefit candidates to try and network with the manager with the actual opening, so you can stand out in a crowd.

Negotiation Details – I was given an offer based on my experience and was told by my future boss that it was pretty much a take it or leave it offer.

Interview Details Phone call with manager to set up first interview. Then second interview with area manager. If they want to hire you then you will get a call back. You go thru the typical drug test and background check.

Interview Details Interview was very standard, basic questions such as how did you handle conflict productively in the past, how would you handle it if there was conflict with a team member. Describe your work ethic, Have you had attendance issues? I actually met with 3 people at 1 time but it was much more relaxed than you would think. The overall interview may have lasted 30 minutes.

Negotiation Details – I did not negotiate, but I know people that have and were able to get 2-3% more for salary, it really depends on the job requirements and what you are bringing to the table.
