      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at G4S (Manassas, VA (US)) in January 2014.

      Interview

      Depends on the facility, but generally the security manager at the place calls you in for an in person interview, asks a few questions and then gives you the job on the spot. I took a job from G4S at two facilities and was outsourced to other places on occasion for temporary work.

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at G4S (Dayton, OH (US)) in May 2016.

      Interview

      Basic run-of-the-mill interview process and very predictable. They sure did preach a lot in the interview questioning. Is they were preaching about dress attire I am staring at one of the officers in charge out of uniform half-dressed.

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at G4S (Boca Raton, FL (US)) in March 2016.

      Interview

      Easy. If you Have a D-license you will definitely get hired. The sites are ok, but some of the supervisors don't know how to work with other people and a lot of them don't care. Great for people in the law enforcement field but other than that what you learn there as security is worthless.
