I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Keller Williams (Austin, TX) in Nov 2019
Interview
Conversational and Technical.
The tech phone screen and conversation with the hiring manager are both ehhh. This is another big non-tech company trying to make a tech pivot. They'll pick your brain so they can implement the solution themselves. The compensation is WAY below market for the skillsets they're requiring. As for the benefits, I do not know any details.
Don't expect to get anything but interview practice from KW. Don't believe me? Ask any Austin recruiter that works with them or look at any reputable job board and see how long their Engineering positions have been posted/reposted. As for the salary, refer to the same resources previously mentioned as well as the company reviews on Glassdoor.
KWI is interview practice.

Typical information mining questions to help the department without hiring the necessary help.
I applied online. I interviewed at Keller Williams
Interview
Really, really terrible. I applied online, Didn't hear anything for a month. Got an email on like a Thursday night asking me to to do a phone interview the following Tuesday. Thinking this would be an excellent opportunity, I gave up a 6 hours shift at 15$ an hour plus commission at my current job to be available. I sat in my apt for 1.5 hours waiting for someone to call. At 11 pm that night I received an email apologizing asking to reschedule. I make if through the phone interview, during which time I disclose that I live in the centre of the city. I'm told at the end of the interview to wait for an online personality profile test to b sent to me to complete before a second, in person interview. I do the online personality profile, which takes about an hour, and arrange interview #2, at a central office. Two nights before interview #2, I get an email asking to move it a day earlier (the next day from when I'm getting said email), and to a VERY out of the way location. I agree, and the following day take a 35$, one way, UBER at rush hour to the interview. We discuss the results of my personality profile, and I am told that I will hear something later that night, or the next day, latest. I am also told that I will be emailed a copy of my personality profile. I sent them two (2) emails over the following week trying to reconnect. That was weeks ago, I have heard nothing, and never got a copy of my personality assessment.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Keller Williams (Austin, TX)
Interview
I had initially applied to the Commitment Administrator position at Keller Williams in Austin, Texas. While they do have a lengthy, slightly invasive interview process - I followed through to the end. The whole process consisted of an initial phone interview, a 2 hour in person interview that reviews your assessment, another in person interview with the hiring manager, then finally a team interview. In total I spent about 6 hours interviewing for the position. I ended up not getting the job, which I understood, and the hiring manager referred me to a new position in a different department. I then was contacted by a recruiter and was told I would interview in an expedited process for the new position, but in reality I just ended up having to do the interview process all over again. Again, I spent about 6 hours interviewing. I again ended up not getting the job because they felt I wasn’t quite ready for it, but offered me the receptionist position which I felt was a huge slap in the face as I overqualified for that position. Additionally, they should have been able to discern that I wasn’t ready for the position when they looked at my resume as well as our first in person interview for the second position. It should not have taken a 3 hour long interview about my personal life to figure that out. Both of the interview processes were incredibly invasive and they grill you on personal aspects of your life that you should not be required to disclose to an employer. I felt very uncomfortable with being pushed to disclose such personal aspects of my life with people that I do not know. While I do think that the interview process really allows hiring managers to know who they are hiring, I think they could do better at condensing the process and avoiding asking such personal questions.
