      Car Enthusiast Interview

      30 Nov 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Arlington, VA
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shift (Arlington, VA) in May 2016

      Interview

      Met with two "managers" when I really should have met with one at a time. Also, I met another worker there that had little relation to the job I was applying for, and he quit soon after I was hired. Seems like they had no plan or structure to their interview process.

      They asked me about a good customer service experience, when I really delivered.

      Car Enthusiast Interview

      11 Mar 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      South San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shift (South San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Shift seems to be a great company, however, they really do need to work on their interviewing strategies. Got through an initial phone interview which followed up with a pre-recorded video interview (which I thought was very awkward) and finally led to the in person interview at their offices. When I first arrived, I got very unpleasant stares from all the employees as in "who is this guy" and had to stand there with no help until the receptionist returned a few minutes later. As for the interview, I thought it was quite unprofessional because I had two interviewers both dressed in normal street clothing while I was asked to dress professionally and started the interview asking if I'm interviewing for a job position that I did not apply for. Second interviewer pretty much came in and asked the exact same questions, hence you have to answer everything twice.

      Thank you for your review, we appreciate your honest and constructive feedback. We are currently working with many of our teams on interview training, to ensure that interviewers are prepared for their interviews and aren't asking the same question twice. Many of our employees are new, so this will take some time, but it is something we care greatly about. Since we have so many new employees, they aren't yet accustomed to greeting visitors upon arrival, we are sorry that you didn't feel welcomed right away. The video interview is often a new experience for candidates, we appreciate the feedback on your experience and will take that into account.

      Interview

      Initial phone screen from corporate recruiter, followed by an on-site interview. Phone screen asked normal questions and just walked through your resume. The on-site interview was with the General Manager and consisted of normal interview questions, mostly concerned with culture fit. They are not looking for any previous experience and the position pay and duties reflect that.
