J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez CDW (Herndon, VA) en janv. 2015
Entretien
The interview process was quite simple and quick but they definitely overpromised and under-delivered in many ways. Its very difficult to move up or around in the company (it takes years and many certifications). It also very difficult to have work/life balance, and a flexible schedule; they told me other wise at the beginning so it was very disappointing. Very stressful and very low starting salary. Also I was never told that the training requirement was 6 months of rigorous cold calling where they track your every call and phone time, so I really felt like the interview process was misleading. On top of that you will need to pass a test after working your butt off for 6 months (the test is a joke a measures nothing of importance to selling IT), you will not have a job if you don't pass.
Simple and relaxed. Show dedication, persistence and willing to do what it takes to learn and grow your book. Willing to come into office. No prior IT experience needed. Three separate interviews completed.
The interview process was a 3 stage process. 1st - Phone screening with the recruitment agency, 2nd - Phone interview with CDW’s HR, 3rd - Zoom/office interview in person with CDW HR + Director.
Overall 1st screening interview was pretty straight forward and was informed that I would be processed to the next stage and a member of CDW would be in contact next week to arrange a interview. Guess what? A week has passed and no update from recruitment agency or CDW. I’ve sent a email for a update and if the position is still vacant or not? Which is currently pending.
The delayed response with lack of communication and update is a red flag for me as CDW is meant to be a IT Solution company that’s able to quickly problem solve, you would assume organisations skills would be prioritised accordingly. Especially when hiring a positional new candidate.
Hiring process was meant to be a 3 stage interview, 1st interview - outsource hiring firm, quick 30 mins call, 2nd interview - Hiring Manager + Member of Team, 3rd Hiring Manager plus Director.
Passed the 1st interview with ease, was informed immediately that I have passed the 1st screening and a member of CDW will call the next following week. Guess what? The week has passed and I resent a email for a update in regards to the position and if still vacant, currently waiting for a reply from the outsourced hiring company but the entire process seems to be delayed with lack of communication with candidate. Which is a major red flag as you would assume a IT Solution company would be more prompt in both communication and process.
