G4S interview questions

Took way too long. For my initial interview, I walked into their local office and waited for what seemed like a long time before I was spoken to. I could have been 15 minutes late and it would've been fine! Met with the hiring manager. He was really cool. He offered me a better paying account once he saw my resume. He told me what I would be doing and the payrate, it took about 15 min. He said they needed to do a background check and once that clears up I would meet with the account manager. Before I left he said, "welcome aboard." Well, a month later and I heard nothing! Backgrounds don't take a month. They take 2 weeks tops. I had to call him a couple of times. When I called, he goes, "oh yeah I was just looking at your file." Yeah, sure you were! I got the job and did another brief interview with the account manager before training. The worst process I've ever had. Their local office is too slow at getting stuff done and too unorganized.

This was quite possibly the worst structured interview I've ever done. The time slots allocated were pointless, I arrived an hour early and ended up getting seen before people who'd had appointments well before me. One lady from G4S took registration details - check of passport and proof of address. This slowed the whole queuing process enormously creating a massive backlog. Why G4S couldn't have allocated more than one person to take everybody's details prior to interview is beyond me. Once my details were taken I had to sit and wait to be interviewed which added at least another 15 minutes on top of the time already spent queuing to register. The whole process from arriving, registering and finally being interviewed took nearly 2.1/2 hours. Completely unacceptable process, and a total shambles. It appeared to me that G4S underestimated the number of people who were actually going to turn up, and were ill prepared to deal with the number who did. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.
