InterviewI applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Allied Universal in Jul 2022
Applied on AUS website. Got a call the next day from a site manager who had me in for an interview the next day. Standard interview asking about why I chose security, my experience, and "tell me about yourself" (I have no prior experience working a security position). Manager had another employee give me a tour and rundown of the essential functions. Very down to earth and friendly manager. The next week I was sent to 3 days of classes. At the end there's a very easy test as well as a drug test. The whole process took about a week. So far everyone I've interacted with from Allied Universal has been very kind, understanding, and easy to talk to.
Interview Questions
- Tell me about yourself What experience do you have in security? Why did you choose to apply to a job in security?

InterviewI interviewed at Allied Universal (San Francisco, CA)
HR rep poorly coordinated timing and communicated the wrong role information. Actual interview was conversational with no problems. Interview ended with next steps conversation which never came to fruition and zero communication.
Interview Questions
- Do you have any issues working within unorganized filling and varied software that require process improvements in addition to regular responsibilities of the role?
