      Director Interview

      4 Sept 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Arlington, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AvalonBay Communities (Arlington, VA)

      Interview

      All the interviewers at Avalon Bay, from HR to legal to Construction, were very professional, approachable and well-prepared. They represent the values of the company (integrity, caring & improvement) well and consistently. If you are fortunate enough to secure an interview with the company, do you best to get hired. On-boarding was very well thought-out with a great balance of meeting new people, learning new processes, and getting productive quickly. Highly recommend

      Director Interview

      6 Aug 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Arlington, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at AvalonBay Communities (Arlington, VA) in May 2015

      Interview

      HR recruiter contacted me on a job submission to their job board. Approximately 2 weeks from submission. Once contacted, HR recruiter performed a standard phone screen asking about background, reason for leaving current employer, relocation, and validating resume information with you to better understand it for the hiring manager - this took about 45 minutes. Once the intake was done a 1:1 was setup with the hiring manager over the phone for the following week - this session was 1.5 hours. Next step was two weeks later for in-person interviews with the hiring manager, the hiring manager's boss, and two peers of the hiring manager. A decision on an offer was delayed due to scheduling conflicts, but took about 2 weeks after the in-person interviews to receive. Start to finish took approximately 45 days.
