I attended a campus career fair at the beginning of October as a current student, which led to round one of interviewing and me declining round two. Upon submitting my resume to the PNC booth, they said they would contact me for the round of interviews the next day. I figured this was a canned response since other people that had spoken with the technology representative received that as well. However, they actually did get back to me by email at 6pm that night wanting to know by 8pm when the next day would be best for an on campus interview. I had work that night, but because I was checking my email then, I was able to respond in time. The next day, I had an interview for after lunch and before my courses for the day began. Sat down with two of the recruiters from the technology department and they switched off between who was asking questions and taking notes. They were standard questions about why I wanted to go into technology in the financial sector, what technical experience I had, classroom experiences, etc. The interview lasted almost an hour. They said that the program only hired about a fourth of the people who go into it and that I would be hearing about round two of interviews in about two weeks. Exactly a week after the career fair, I received an email stating that round two of interviews would start the next day! It was to be a networking session from 6pm to 8pm, then the entire day after (I think it was 7:30am to 4pm, but I could be mistaken) would be round two of interviews with the people actually in charge of the various sectors of the development program and would be much more technical than round one. I called the recruiter who sent the email and declined due to scheduling conflicts as going to an interview for a program that only hires a forth of their employees was not worth finding transportation to Pittsburgh headquarters on such short notice. Apparently my interviewers had the wrong information and that the program actually hired 90% that join it, with the other 10% opting out of it due to not finding the right fit during the training. The discrepancy in information seemed to reflect that the departments have poor communication. The recruiter I called said they could try working something out for later in the week, but that by the next week, they already will have hired for the program and I would have to reapply for the next round in the spring. That would not work for me due to working alone and having no one to cover multiple shifts on such short notice, and it was midterm week, so professors would not be able to accommodate me missing exams on such short notice. Overall, it seemed way too quick of a process to me. It could be that it was just my first professional interview, but having all this occur within the first week of contacting them was daunting, especially with being told two completely different pieces of key information about the program. My career counselor asked me about it when I met with him a month later, and he seemed surprised that they actually went through with giving me less than a day between giving them my resume and having round one. My apologies for this being long winded, but I wanted to be detailed while I still remembered it.

HireVue with video interview and assessment. If you move forward, you will receive an easy coding assessment in your preferred programming language. However, you should be prepared to clearly explain your code and thought process during the interview. As part of the second round, there are two additional interviews that combine behavioral questions with a review and discussion of your coding assessment.
