The hiring process at AT&T takes an average of 30 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Sales Representative had the quickest hiring process (on average 30 days), whereas Sales Representative roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 30 days).
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T in Jul 2011
Interview
I was screened by a recruiter, and then was invited to the HR office for a second interview. The woman who interviewed me painted the job horribly -- she said I would be put in a boring location and would do mundane work and would not move up in the company fast at all and then asked me how come I wanted the job. Now I understand that she was placing some pressure on me as I was slightly overqualified for the role and she didn't want to extend an offer that would be rejected, but the tone of the interview was so adversarial that I told her bluntly that I did not want the job that bad after all and that I would like to cut the interview short and withdraw my application. Really bad interview experience, and confirms what people were telling me about working for AT&T.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
The first call -- I received a phone call at a very early morning hour from an unrecognized number -- with no warning. I may have been rude, because I presumed this to be a poorly timed sales call. The phone connection (this is AT&T) was broken and garbled at times. The phone rep suggested that, since I applied online, I may have received a follow-up email requiring an inline signature. The Rep suggested I find the email a.s.a.p. and respond, so that I may be considered for any position. I eventually received the email and did as asked.
The second call -- I received a second call in the middle of the day, and the Phone Rep was pleasant and considerate that I needed to find a quiet place to talk. I was asked a series of questions about my experience and understanding of the terms of employment. This is went very well. Then, when I was asked if I had any questions, I replied, "No." When I began to ask if/when I might hear from AT&T again, the line went dead. The number was unlisted, so I could not call back to continue. Everything appeared to go well, but I never heard back from the HR department -- and the whole process seemed very impersonal and cold.
