Designer at Pitney Bowes

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Shelton, CT (US) – Reviewed Apr 11, 2013

Interview Details I got a referral. Brief and unremarkable phone interview followed by an on site presentation I was asked to make. They were almost too impressed with the technological aspects of my presentation which were hardly remarkable and not really the point of the presentation.
Over 2 months passed between interview (beginning of August) and offer (mid October). Offer included a start date over 3 months later (last day of January.)

Interview Question – What would you physically need to reproduce your presented work. At first I thought that this was the 'trick question' to verify that I had actually done the work when in fact they had no understanding of it (the process or technology.)   View Answer

Negotiation Details – The offer seemed ideal as I thought what a great way to start. Sadly, changes in mgmt over the next year killed both enthusiasm for the work and the desire for a truly creative outcome.

Recruiting Coordinator at Pitney Bowes

No Offer – Interviewed in Stamford, CT (US) Dec 2012 – Reviewed Dec 28, 2012

Interview Details Applied online and received a phone call about two months later to set up an interview I interviewed with the talent manager. The interview was fairly easy. It didnt seem like they were really prying. More of a conversational interview. I was told that decisions will be made by the end of the week about the position and the prospective employee would be starting 1/1/2013. Of course, I never heard back from them. I called and emailed but to no avail. I'd rather them just honor their word as far as getting back to me.

Interview Question – Nothing really hard.   Answer Question

Senior Director at Pitney Bowes

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Stamford, CT (US) Jan 2012 – Reviewed Dec 19, 2012

Interview Details I was invited back multiple times and interviewed by my VP, the chief officer of my function, my VP's peers and other business leaders. It was mostly behavioral based interview questions. Lots of emphasis on HOW I accomplished what I did, not just what I accomplished. I was given quick feedback and strong encouragement throughout a somewhat long process. I, however, was not actively looking so a longer process was actually very welcome.

Interview Question – Why leave (a very successful Fortune 100 company) for Pitney Bowes?   View Answer

Negotiation Details – they provided a strong, fair offer upfront.

Product Support at Pitney Bowes

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Dec 11, 2012

Interview Details Applied online. Received a phone interview which was fairly benign. Had an interview with the department supervisor, in which he discussed my qualifications and skills, as well as my goals for the future. It was a fairly thorough interview, from my perspective. Asked how I felt I could contribute to this company, and why I should be selected from the myriad of applicants.

Interview Question – Mostly just questions about how I had handled situations in the past, or how i would handle theoretical situations. Nothing terribly difficult.   Answer Question

Financial Analyst at Pitney Bowes

No Offer – Interviewed in Harlow, England (UK) Feb 2009 – Reviewed Nov 23, 2012

Interview Question – How would you deal with a complex and demanding client query at 5pm on a Friday?   Answer Question
