I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Relias in Apr 2018
Interview
Super simple and easy. They make you take this timed assessment twice, which is a joke and not a good indicator of success. Onsite was basic behavioral questions. This is hard to mess up. Just mention you do well in change and you will be good.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Relias (Cary, NC) in Dec 2018
Interview
Very long and involved. Cognitive Ability timed test was a bit anxiety producing, but I did fine. Three phone interviews (45-60 minutes each), 2 hours of face-to-face 1:1 interviews to include applicant presentation to interviewing members. It's clear they are focused on weeding out those who are not worthy of the challenge of working there, but I fear they may lose some highly qualified candidates by not seeing their potential. Still going to try for some other positions because I am sold on the culture and the level of 'smart' they want to see in their staff.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you describe the steps in making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
Applied, took an assessment test, phone screen, took another assessment with the HR person watching via FaceTime (I guess to make sure I did not cheat), had another phone screen with hiring manager, and was invited in for an interview and to give a 10 minute presentation. Met with several managers, one of which called me a “Yankee” and not in a nice or joking way either because I recently relocated to NC from NY. Another manager (possibly the director) was texting while interviewing me at which point I stopped mid-answer to a question because that is plain rude. I was then told to trim my 10-minute presentation down to 7-minutes. Fumbled through that because I had to leave out information and the texting lady was still texting. Found out the following week that I would not be offered the position. What a waste of my time!
