Process

I applied through GM's website.

The interview process consisted of a Hirevue screen, an HR screen, then a third Skype interview. The Hirevue process asked six behavioral questions, which you have two chances to answer each.

After the questions, you have to complete three cognitive ability games:

  • Arithmetic
  • Pattern matching
  • Short-term memory

A week after the Hirevue session, I received a phone call for an HR screen. This screen consisted of them confirming the information on my resume, asking when I could start, what my location preference is, and why I want to work there. There were two more behavioral questions during the HR screen as well.

At the end of the HR screen, I was told that they would send my profile to the hiring manager and I would be hearing from them to schedule a Skype interview.

The next week, my profile status was updated to Hiring Manager Review. A few days later, I received an email saying I was no longer in consideration. The first two sessions didn't go poorly, so I assume they found a better candidate or there was something in my resume the hiring manager didn't like.

I'm not a big fan of behavioral interview questions for technical roles, but I can understand their use, as this is still an entry-level position.
