Interview Experience

“Western Global started with a 30-minute Skype interview, basic background and career goals stuff. Within an hour HR called to schedule the face-to-face in Miami. In-person day was packed: company briefing, math test, a 40-question technical written that was legitimately hard, sim ride in the 747 (MD-11 sim was being used), and then a final panel with senior leadership. They deliberated for maybe 5 minutes and gave me the answer same day.”
