April 3, 2014

Neutral ExperienceGot Offer

Process

This was a relatively lightweight and easy interview. I didn't get any particularly challenging questions. The entire process is relatively standardized and meaningless, so your specific experience in getting hired will depend directly on who you end up speaking with.

Questions

The interview and hiring process was quite lengthy.

There was an extensive background check, and many standardized questions did not fit the position.

Pros: The people on the crews are some of the most talented, and it was truly a pleasure to work with so many creative brains.

Cons: The beginning of my career there, it truly felt like a big family at TVA. Each person on the crew had value. I think this was still true of the crews I was on most recently. Unfortunately, it was senior management that made crew members feel like we were just a number of no consequence.
