GSI Commerce Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Professional and Pleasant

Interview Details Be yourself at the interview. There is a huge emphasis on fitting in. In other words be as sociable as you are technical. Look professional for your interview and be prepared to shoot from the hip. My thank you letter got me in the door.

Negotiation Details – Ask for what you want. Don't get in the door low. The environment is a revolving door so chances are you are more valuable than you think.

Interview Details I was first contacted by the GSI HR and we corresponded via e-mail regarding skills and salary.
The second contact from GSI was via a phone interview with HR this was about 30 min and was more for fit and personality. After the phone interview I was told that I would be send some additional paper work to fill out via e-mail and an invite for the on site meeting. After 2 days I had not received any e-mails and called Kelly in HR. Left her a message and her response was she e-mailed the wrong person. My 3rd contact with GSI was an on site 1:1 interview with the hiring manager of the support department. I was told by the hire manager that there were 11 positions open for this job and that they are very interested in me. She asked me to consider the hours and type of work involved and to contact HR with my additional questions regarding benefits. The next day I sent my questions to Kelly at HR and did not hear back for over 2 months. I then proceeded to e-mail Kelly in HR again regarding my questions and if the position was still open. The response I received was: Your salary requirements are out side the pay of the position and they will keep my info on file.

I would not work with GSI after looking at all the negative reviews on GlassDoor and my experience with them. I have asked them to remove my file and not contact me. You do forget that you are interviewing with GSI.

Interview Details - I applied on the GSI web site
- they called me within a few days for a phone interview with the manager
- the manager screened me on the phone for about 20 minutes
- then they arranged 3 hour in person interviews
- there were 4 sets of interviews. First was with HR- brief, explained company policies. Next was with 3 technical people at once. Next was with a non-technical project manager, and the last was with the hiring manager.
- they were quite "brutal" in the interviews - they did NOT ask a lot of hard questions, they were just relentless on me and just never seemed satisfied that I would do a good job, despite me being overqualified for the job (I have 20 years experience). I answered every question well, but they were just relentless.

Reason for Declining – - they left me with a bad impression from being so hard on me in the interviews. It seems like it would be an agonizing place to work.

Interview Details The company allows candidates to apply online or at the facility on their computers. After the initial application you will have to go to the site and sit through several computer based tests. You will be told at the end of testing how well you completed the tests. You will then be asked to either retest or setup an interview. You will be called in with be interviewed individually and then called in later to interview with a group. The group will be asked a set of questions and everyone must answer the same questions. You will then be called if they want to hire you.

Negotiation Details – schedule

Interview Details Everything started out great, had a phone screen, than another, than an all day in person meeting several people than another, and another....very lengthy process, meeting a lot of people some of which I had no idea as to why.

The communication was almost every other day until the end where I followed up after no communication and than called in and was lied to twice, they were just buying time to hire someone else!

I am not sure why this company felt the need to lie and say someone else also needs to get throught the interview process!

Interview Details This is still on-going as it has taken three weeks of phone tag trying to get in touch with the HR department who insists they are "so far behind" with the seasonal hiring process. They seem very disorganized and could definitely use a seasonal hiring coordinator to make this a much smoother process and help both parties.

Interview Details Phone interview was like for half hour, was completely technical. It went quite well. Was called for interview.

I got quite nervous when I went for the interview. Don't know what happened, but had complete block. Made some mistakes, but overall went okay. But two people interviewed me, for one hour.

Interview Details I applied online for their seasonal receptionist and full time CS rep position. Then after few days i received an email fro them that they have been trying to reach me but my number is not working so i send them an email to schedule an interview. They told me to come in for assesment test. So i went there and took the test which included data entry, customer service and some internet explorer. After that they told me that they will call me in 2 weeks to set up another interview. But after 2 days i received a call to come in for my second interview. I went for the interview and there were 5 more people with me. After waiting for 20 mins they told us to come in a conference room. So it was like we all 6 people were sitting in a same room and there was no 1 on 1 interview. They asked us 4 or 5 questions which were tell us about a problem that u might have had in ur last job and how u solved it, 3 qualities that u think one shud have while performing a customer service and sales job, an example of a customer who was angry and u solved there problem, any sports that u play and like. After we all answered those questions they told us that they will call us if we passed the background chk or will send us an email if are rejected. And that was it!!
