General Overview of Experience All gouges are spot on. No real changes here other than the questions were phrased slightly different for my HR yet addresses the usual areas of importance (customer service, conflict resolution, etc.).
Stayed at the Doubletree. Nice hotel, excellent option other than the hotel shuttle does not offer airport pickups/dropoffs. No big deal as the United Airlines complimentary shuttle will offer airport shuttle to the United Airlines training facility and then an easy connection to the hotel from the training facility. Make a litle extra time and arrive early for the interview as construction may cause unforseen delays.
