Had my interview for the Network Planning Analyst role at the airline yesterday, and honestly, it was a solid experience. The panel was friendly, which made it less nerve-wracking than I expected. They kicked things off with some icebreaker questions about my favorite travel destinations (classic airline vibe).
The technical part was interesting—they really wanted to know how I approach analyzing routes and optimizing schedules. A lot of ‘what would you do if’ scenarios came up, which felt more like problem-solving puzzles than an interrogation.
They also asked a bit about industry trends and my take on how airlines can stay competitive in changing markets. Luckily, I’d done my homework, so I had a few stats and ideas ready to go.
Overall, it felt like a genuine conversation. Definitely came out of it feeling like they value creativity and strategy, not just crunching numbers. Fingers crossed!
Very rude and not pleasant. Didn’t give feedback. Reflective of company culture. Easy question bad attitude. Not much to say. Don’t interview here. United is known for being a bad culture
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines in Sept 2021
Interview
2 hour case study which was not enough time unless you're very quick in Excel. It wasn't a great evaluation of your skills. After about a month, I received my rejection.
