Interviews are happening now!

Was it a one-way Hirevue interview or the usual panel interview with a group of managers?

Has anyone who has interviewed in previous cycles received an interview invitation this cycle, or are they still doing the one-bite-at-the-apple thing that started when interviewing went virtual?

[Anonymous User]

So I take it if we didn't get an interview request but got the referred email, we didn't make the cut this round?

Do you know someone who received an invitation to interview?

Yes, I interviewed last week. It was the usual panel interview!

Data point: People on Reddit are saying they have already received the reference-checking call.

I was told interviews would continue through the end of August. No word on timing on final decisions/offers. Would love to know updates from other folks in the process. Fingers crossed!

Calls to references post interviews have already gone out.

[Anonymous User]

I got the reference call but have not heard anything since. Has anyone got an offer yet?

[Anonymous User]

I got the reference call about 2 weeks ago and also have not heard anything since

Oh interesting. They told me that we would hear back in mid-August

I was told mid-August as well. I wonder how much longer it's going to be.

[Anonymous User]

Has anyone received an offer yet considering the fact that it's nearing the end of August now (which is around the time they said they would get back to candidates)?

[Anonymous User]

I haven’t received an offer yet, and the last thing I heard was they were calling my references. I know they called my references, because my references called me and told me they called them.

[Anonymous User]

No communications at all since the phone about contacting references 3 weeks ago.

[Anonymous User]

No word here following interview and reference check (3 weeks ago).

[Anonymous User]

Nothing here. It's been almost a month since the call about checking references.

[Anonymous User]

Received verbal offer today

[Anonymous User]

Just got the offer call today! It was a brutal wait for sure

[Anonymous User]

Verbal (phone call) offers were made last week - waiting on written offers this week.

Is anyone else still waiting on the written offer?

Any news on whether our start date will be pushed back if the shutdown continues?

After this colossal waste of time and resources, they got twenty-three warm bodies to answer the loyalty oath questions and agree to work in person indefinitely with no union protections.

Anyone here applied for the most recent cycle that closed 12/30/2026? I know the process usually takes months. I received an update that my application was referred, but, it’s been pretty quiet since.
