I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA)
Interview
First a phone interview by the hiring manager
They make you feel like you are top of their list, and that applies to all applicants
Followed up by on-site interview at headquarters, usually with the hiring manager and another peer and HR. Small group interview. Nice atmosphere.
Did NOT get to see the actual work place or talk to future colleagues.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They do not hire smokers, oddly enough.
Not a problem for me, but the innocent comment that I smoked a cigar a while back did raise an eyebrow. It was not a big deal as I otherwise don't smoke.
