YESS interview questions

The interview process was pretty standard. They didn't schedule a phone interview in advance, but rather called me and asked if I had some time to do one. A week or so later, they called and invited me for an in-person interview with HR and the hiring manager. The in-person interview was probably one of the best ones I've ever attended. The hiring manager and HR were really at ease with one another and that made me feel at ease, they joked and laughed a lot, which made the whole ordeal much easier. After that they requested references, at least one of which had to be supervisory. They checked my references, and I got a job offer less than a week later.

My interview took place last summer in 2019. It was extremely nerve-wracking when there were an excessive amount of people interviewing me (3 people - really?). They were very cold-faced and appeared as if they wanted to see how well I dealt with pressure. The questions asked were generic and relevant to the role, however; there was no sense of affirmation when answering them. Their responses were neutral, and this can be off-putting for someone who is trying to gauge how well they complete an interview. I was also asked to sign a 'waiver' if they decided to move forward with the process, which was strange... Halfway through the interview, there was a knock on the door. The hiring managers thought it would be polite and appropriate to allow this EXTRA PERSON in the room and basically "shadow" the panel while they interview me. It was one of the most uncomfortable interviews I had in my life. I truly wanted to just exit after that moment. Based on their interview process, I would not consider YESS a reputable organization to work for. Trash hiring managers = trash management.
