Interview
i applied online and received a phone call the next day to set up an interview. I went in for the interview fully prepared for the "what are your best qualities" and the "why do you want this job". Boy was I wrong. He sat me down and immediately started asking me the most personal questions I've ever been asked on an interview, such as "what is one thing about you that you don't want me to know". Not only was I nervous but I felt uncomfortable then when he didn't want to deal with me anymore he sent me over to the COO's office, who clearly was busy and didn't want me there, to answer all of my questions about the company. After that I received an email a few days later saying I didn't get the job. Very unprofessional even if it was a personal assistant job.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Big Red (Austin, TX) in May 2015
Interview
Sent my resume in and received a call back within one day. Came in and visited with the CEO. He called back two weeks later for me to come back in.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing of any significance. He had seen my resume online...brings me in and tells me, given my resume and experience (which I am more than aware of), he would rather put me in a marketing position. Something I've been very successful in for 30 years (I was just looking for a semi-retirement mindless job)...so then he wanted me to apply my many years of marketing knowledge. As I told him, "That's a whole different ball game than being a personal assistant." He sends me an offer letter with a title below any I have ever held, even out of college with a salary less than the personal assistant job...something I had not made since 1984. SURELY YOU JEST!! The pompous arrogance is unbelievable. I countered with two offers and he just never returned my call and that was the end of that. How immature these arrogant people are and trust me, the arrogance is completely unfounded. I would stay away. I should have taken heed of the previous Glassdoor comments. I did take note before going in as to how low his CEO rating was and, it is even lower in my opinion. The second I walked in, he spouts out some negative comment about the great GPS system I used to find his office (which he said people have a hard time finding.) I didn't. He then proceeds to bash two of his current employees. He has no business working with people or making job offers. He is obviously just plain greedy and clueless. Most people who exude such arrogance are just negative, insecure people on power trips and the describes the CEO of Big Red, in my opinion. DO NOT WORK HERE!!
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Big Red (Austin, TX) in Jan 2014
Interview
HR manager, Kalynn White, interviewed me for about 15 minutes. She reviewed my resume and all that the job entailed including availability, confidentiality, duties, etc. Then she took me to ceo's suite and he interviewed me for about an hour and a half. Very quiet and small office. CEO's office is gigantic. He asked more personal questions than work related like about my family and things I like to do for fun.
