Application
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) (Troy, MI) in May 2018
Interview
I applied online and received a phone call that same day. Scheduled a phone interview for later that same afternoon. Interviewer gave a brief history of the company and a summary of what the Closer position entails. The rest of the interview consisted of questions about my work history, as well as a few scenario-based questions. I was also allotted plenty of time to ask my own questions that I had about the company and position. We then scheduled an onsite 1:1 interview for later that week in the morning.
The scheduled interview consisted of a grammar test, phone call simulation, tour of the building, and a Q/A portion with a couple team leads. The process was both relaxed and informative. I felt comfortable in each part of my time there (about 90 minutes) and was encouraged to ask plenty of questions. The primary focus of the interview was the culture of the company, which led me to believe that United Shore really focuses on hiring team members that will fit in seamlessly. I left the interview feeling confident.
I received a call later that same afternoon with an extended offer, in which I accepted.
Thank you for your feedback! We put forth effort to make every interview experience a positive one for all going through the process and we couldn’t be happier that this was the case for you. Welcome to the United Shore family!
The process took 2 weeks.
Interview
Got an email to schedule a phone interview, interviewed over the phone, and had a video interview due to covid, so no in person interview. Interviews were big on culture fit, not about skill.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) (Pontiac, MI) in Dec 2018
Interview
I applied for the job online, received a half-hour screening call from a talent acquisition specialist, then went in for an in-person interview. The interview included a tour of the facility, a short skills test, and a talk with the department head. Ultimately, the important thing to keep in mind here is that culture must be a right fit for you. I think you have to trust your gut to determine if the atmosphere is right for you. I think they did a great job showcasing the operation, they were very efficient and punctual with timing, and they were kind. I ultimately don't think the culture was right for me (open work space, loud atmosphere)... I doesn't seem like United Shore is interested in offering a quiet/controlled workspace so it wasn't a right fit for me.
