I received an email with an invitation to do a half hour phone interview with an HR screener. After that, I was asked to do a zoom interview with two branch managers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the questions asked were pretty standard, but they did ask me to tell them about something that I did for someone else without being asked.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BECU in Apr 2017
Interview
Their recruiters obviously don't like to work at all. I applied online no answer for 3 weeks, then i got an email for video interview. Then again no answer for 3 weeks and I had to find a recruiter by myself and email her, because I was very interested and wanted to know what happened after my video interview. Finally she called and had to ask me all questions again because the quality of the video was very bad. 3rd step was face to face interview which wasn't bad but another problem with recruiter came after interview. No news for another 4 months, though managers during the interview told me my recruiter was going to email me about the results. I was trying to call recruiter, leave voice messages and never got a call back. And finally after more than a month recruiter emailed me apologizing for misunderstanding. 2 recruiters weren't able to understand who was going to let me know about managers' decision after F2F interview, that's why I was ignored after F2F interview. I have never had such a horrible experience with any company and I have never had such a disrespectful attitude toward my time and me as a person.

BECU Recruiting
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BECU (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2022
Interview
I applied online for the remote member consultant position. They same day they contacted me to setup a phone interview. The phone interview went fine. Answered a couple STAR questions and was told about the job.
Heres where it went downhill. The interviewer told me I would be hearing back within a week if i was going to move on to the next step. Three weeks went by and I hadnt heard either way and my application status still said Interviews Underway. They dont really give you anyone to contact since this was all done remotely. I emailed the HR department to ask about if I was still under consideration. They forwarded the email to the recruiter I talked with and she said that I didnt get the job. A few minutes after getting this response my application status changed to not selected. Im fine with not being selected but they should let people know instead of stringing them along.

Tell me about a time you....?
Thank you for making time to share your feedback about your experience applying for this role with BECU. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. We are using your feedback to review and improve our process around candidate follow-up.
I applied online. I interviewed at BECU (Renton, WA) in Jul 2019
Interview
Process takes forever and recruiter usually doesn't follow up with you. It took my recruiter to get back to me at least a week after constant emails to follow up with her and multiple phone calls. She would say "do you have time later this week?" on Monday and no responses back until Friday. Can't really schedule anything else until she gets back to you after a week or two and saying "I've been busy". I'm still waiting on her to reply back to my last email from last week, but at this point I don't think I want to go any further with this.
It seems BECU definitely doesn't value candidates' time and effort (or at least her). I wouldn't recommend my friends to apply here with this negative experience.
Interview with managers were nice and friendly but I wouldn't go back here.
