My whole process started when I went to Accruent's website and applied online. Their application is right on the same page as the Job Description, has a few qualifying questions, an upload spot for a resume, and then you submit.
Next step, nine days later, I got an email from them for testing. As the other reviewers here mentioned, this is apparently standard for Accruent and consists of a Personality Test (just like ones you can find online) and an "IQ Test". I had no problem with the Personality Test, but the IQ Test, I didn't even finish. It was 50 questions in 15 minutes, so I figured I was out of the running.
To my surprise, the next day, a recruiter emailed me to set up a Phone Interview. I agreed and scheduled it for the next day. She gave me an overview of the job, asked me why I was looking for a new job, and some general questions regarding my qualifications. After that, she offered me to come in for the In-Person Testing, as other reviewers mentioned also doing. I scheduled mine out two days later and went in first thing in the morning. The recruiter gave me a brief tour of the entire facility, and then brought me into a conference room to with a MacBook, a pad of paper, and a pen, and made me redo the "IQ Test" again. Once again, I didn't finish all the questions, but the Recruiter did mention that unanswered questions don't count against you. After I was done, she returned to the room and said they'd follow up with me for In Person Interviews.
Hours later that same day, I got that email and submitted what times I'd be available. Two days later, I came in and had the In Person Interviews.
These interviews were a marathon. It was two panels with two Managers each, one Senior Manager and one potential future Manager who I might actually report to (if that makes sense). Both panels were an hour long, making for two hours straight of Interviews, and then another 20ish minutes with the Recruiter again going over the Benefits package.
The first panel interview was great. It was a fun conversation among the three of us, they asked me questions like what are my strengths, what motivates me, and a fun question of how nerdy was I. I left that panel feeling great like I made real connections. The second panel, though, I could tell my caffeine buzz was wearing off. This panel, the Sr. Manager was much more direct and seemed not to be entertained by stories as much. He kept focusing on the more negative interview questions like when have you ever argued with a Supervisor, have you ever dealt with a coworker who wasn't carrying their load, have you ever had a project that you failed to complete and why. He even interrupted me a few times when I was answering his questions on top of that, which killed my self-esteem a bit. But I survived, and afterwards, the Recruiter came back and explained the Benefits, and I left feeling like I had done the best I could.
The next day, the recruiter called me and offered the job. I was stunned, because I honestly thought I bombed that second panel! But it pays off to approach the interviews as a conversation. Do your research on the company here on Glassdoor, look up the Managers on LinkedIn, Google the Company, I even checked out their Instagram page to get a good feeling of the culture. Bring all that research with you to the interview, and practice some generic interview questions. It'll show in the interview room--in fact, one of the questions in the first panel actually was "How much do you know about us?" My research blew them away when I listed all the stuff I could remember.
Overall, the interview process was thorough, transparent, quick, and the recruiter, Sarah K., did such a great job being open and communicative with me and she was such a pleasure to talk to, like an old friend.
