how long after your interview did you get a change in status? i did mine on saturday and still nothing. do they let you know if you arent chosen ? Less
↳
I feel like getting an interview is also dependent on luck. Its seems like you have a good background for a new grad position. Also did you make sure you didn't get your bachelors prior to 2019 since you did a 2 years masters? I believe that was one of the requirements for Bell GLP. Less

@Anonymous Wow August 26th and they are replying right now!!! I thought I had to wait awhile for a reply. Here's been my journey with the process 1) I applied for the Finance rotational program and Network GLP on September 8th and 9th. 2) Did a video questionnaire on September 10th 3) Applied for top 3 position in Network GLP on September 13th. 4) Got a call 2nd week October for a group interview the next week. 5) Attended the group interview in mid October for the Network GLP position. After the group interview I haven't really gotten any updates. On the career portal my applications were last seen on October 10th. I also reached out to some of the people I had my group interview with and they haven't heard back either. Less
If you're the CEO, what are the first three things you check about the business when you wake up?
63 Answers↳
1) are our employees safe and sound, 2) are there any major customer issues or service problems, 3) What is new happening in the world and our industry today Less
↳
As CEO I don't need to micromanage. I'd check the news, weather, and email.
↳
1: How happy are your employees. 2: How happy are you customers. 3: Where are we wasting time and money and how can it be improved. Less

If plane is about to crash, whom would you save when you can save 2 people from your mother, pregnant lady, doctor and yourself
21 Answers↳
I’ll save the Doctor and the Pregnant Lady so that the doctor can save my mother if she is injured Less
↳
I have to think to save my mother first. Because this pregnant doctor should have a partner with her. It's positive when a lady gets pregnant she must have a partner whenever she goes out or travel in order make herself feel more secured. And here my mother is only depending on me, so i must try to save her first. Less
↳
Mother, pregnant lady then myself.

I will simply say, Good to see you today sir, Do have a wonderful ahead.
You are on a game show. There are three doors, behind one of which is a prize and the other two is a chunk of coal, and the host knows which door holds the prize. You choose door #1. Before it is opened, the host opens door #3 and reveals a lump of coal. You have the choice to stick with the door you chose originally or switch to door #2. What do you do?
18 Answers↳
Interview Candidate and Anonymous are right. This is also known as the Monte Hall problem Less
↳
Your choice splits the doors in two sets. Set A contains the door you selected, and the probability that is a prize behind this door is 1/3. The set B contains all remaining doors, and the probability that the winning door is somewhere in there is 2/3. By removing one door, which all have the success probability of zero because there's coal behind them, from set B, only one door remains in B, but the overall probability for success in set B is still 2/3. Therefore you must switch. Less
↳
Interview candidate is right. You got 1/3 chance that prize is behind door #1 and you lose if you switch. And you got 2/3 chance that prize is behind either door #2 or #3. Since the host will always eliminate the wrong one. 2/3 chance will be allocated on the left one. Less
Consider a lift lobby where people are waiting for the lift. Now when lift arrives people get in irrespective of who came first. Thus, the person who came first keeps waiting and others keep getting in. Design a lift system which can solve the problem of this person.
16 Answers↳
I don't find any of the answers posted above by Vikram, Vishnu or Deb as appropriate! @Vikram: Can you increase the size of a lift lobby??? FYI a lift lobby is the space u generally have between an array of lifts located on opposite sides of a wall. Having a narrow path and having a long waiting queue?? Imagine such a situation in an office or a shopping mall or an apartment! and will u demolish an existing building to reinstall this design u are suggesting - who will buy ur design? @Vishnu: Elevator - do u mean escalator? Imagine a 30-40 floor building and and escalator going 30 floors up and down! Think of the time u will have to take to reach the top floor. There can be n types of solution, but it is important to evaluate every solution. we are not suggesting just an alternate solution, but addressing the users problem. I think we are increasing his problem by this design. And also consider the technical feasibility of such design in say 50 floor building? and again will u demolish an existing building to reinstall this design u are suggesting - who will buy ur design? @Deb: Again, we are solving the users problem here and not just suggesting solution for the sake of it. Imagine such a lift system installed in your apartment complex! The camera would know that you are no. 7, how would you know that? not knowing this you will try to enter a lift and then u say that the lift will stop u!!! and there may be 6 lifts in the lobby. Say at a particular instance of time 2 lifts - lift 1 (going down) and lift 4 (going up) arrive. you will not let in person no 10 who wants to go down while all other 9 who came before and wants to go up. And how would the camera know which floor the person wants to go?? I am just giving pointers and this is the way the options will be struck down, if they do not address the actual problem/ or you do not consider the feasibility of implementation. The solution that i gave was this: When one enters a lift lobby first thing he does is to press up or down button to call a lift going up or down respectively. Once we enter a lift we have the keyboard to press the floor number inside the lift. What i suggested is to have a similar keyboard somewhere at the entrance of the lift lobby along with a small embedded display screen. So that when i am entering the lobby i press say 11 (to go to the 11th floor). While i press that, instantly the lobby shows me the lift number (say Lift 1, 2, ..6) i need to get into. So i know which lift i need to get into and i will obviously stand in front of that lift. At any time, the same lift number will not be issued to more than X people (where X is a predefined number of persons who can go in a lift at a time). Here the design is not in reinventing the entire lift system. Nobody will incur so much real estate cost to scrap the existing lift system and build a totally new designed one! The actually design here would be to build the backend logic that the lift system would use to assign the right lift number to every arriver in the most efficient way. e.g. Assume a simple start state (for a 2 lift lobby) when all lifts are stationary at the ground floor. When P1 (going to F10) comes System assigns him L1. For P2 (F5) assigns L2. Now to P3 (F12) assign L1, P4(F11) assign L1, P5(F4) assign L2 and so on. This is a simple situation. All we need is an algorithm which can address this lift assignment in the most efficient way. I WAS SELECTED :) Less
↳
Have a two way door opening in the lift. But always entry should be in one side and exit other side. Less

Sorry for my previous response. Wrongly understood the question
