I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at T-Mobile (Dallas, TX) in May 2013
Interview
Hardly a process, more akin to an ordeal. Could easily be compared to King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail a la Monty Python. Along the way there were purges of employees (bring out your dead) political battles with other biz units (it's only a flesh wound) pointless travel (coconuts) pointless posturing (you must bring me a shrubbery) interviews with self-serving, empire-building, rambling junior executives (they said i was daft to build a castle in the swamp, but I built it just the same). The echo chamber will be the end of innovation and I won't she'd any tears when it does.

Question 1
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
The interview process moved fairly quickly and was well-structured. I met with five different individuals, including the direct manager, a colleague from a team I’d work with regularly, as well as the department’s director and VP. As part of the process, I was also given a project that allowed me to demonstrate my skills and approach to the work.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at T-Mobile (New York, NY) in Nov 2024
Interview
Recruiter screen, first round with hiring manager, case study presented to a panel, and final round with two senior team members. Overall the team was nice and transparent. I felt the ultimately the senior leaders dinged me due to lack of experience in the sector. I got the feeling they held the final say.
