I was excited about the prospect of joining the Revenue Optimization team at American Airlines, but the interview experience was honestly one of the worst I have encountered in my career. From the moment the call started, the atmosphere was cold and unwelcoming. It did not feel like a conversation to assess mutual fit; it felt like a hostile interrogation. The interview consisted entirely of them reading from a script. They drilled me on about 6 or 7 back-to-back probability questions. When I paused to think or got stuck on a specific logic puzzle, there was absolutely no guidance or collaboration. Usually, interviewers will offer a nudge to see how you think, but here, they just stared blankly. If this is how they treat candidates, I can only imagine what the culture is like for actual employees. Advice to Candidates: Be prepared for a high-stress environment. Brush up heavily on probability, but also be prepared for interviewers who may not be interested in helping you succeed.

I got referral for the revenue management market analyst position. I was able to do first round of interview that was virtual. I got invited to second round of interview that is in-person.
