I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Brookdale Senior Living in Jun 2016
Interview
Applied online for the Marketing Coordinator position and received a call later that same day to schedule a phone interview. It was scheduled for Friday in the early afternoon, the lady even told me to do "research" about the position/company. For some background, I had also applied for a different position online a few months back and received similar treatment (call for phone interview + scheduled for later in the week). Both of these times, the recruiter never called. Never called to cancel, reschedule, or anything. Not even an email notification.

I applied online. I interviewed at Brookdale Senior Living (Akron, OH) in Feb 2025
Interview
It was a very positive experience with well thought out questions. Non-stuffy. I met with the assistant director and the executive director. The interview took over an hour so I thought I would hear back.

Interview
I had an initial 5-minute phone screening by the hiring manager followed by two longer (45 minutes or so) Zoom interviews with him. One took place on a Sunday at his request, which I found odd but was happy to accommodate.
The first Zoom interview was mostly informational, centering around the position and Brookdale as a whole. The second was more in-depth, focusing on team dynamics and work environment.
I thought the process went well, but then I never heard a word after my last interview despite feeling as though I had a good conversation with the hiring manager and sending him a thank-you email. This was disappointing, as after multiple interviews I'd have hoped he or someone else from Brookdale would have the courtesy to let me know that the position was offered to someone else.

Question 1
I was mostly asked standard interview questions, such as discussing my strengths and weaknesses or providing an example of a time I was challenged at work and how I overcame that challenge. The hiring manager also wanted to know if I had the flexibility to work some weekends as needed.

Interview
It was a bit chaotic. When I arrived, my interviewer was not prepared so I was escorted around the building by another employee for about an hour. Overall, I was there for almost two hours.
