I met the recruiters at my university's career fair. Eventually made it to the final round interviews in Chicago. Overall, the final interviews seemed unprofessional. Of the group that was interviewed, no one who had any actual airline experience and knowledge of airline pricing/revenue strategy were hired. The only person hired was the one who did not care for the job, did not know anything about the industry, and said they came just for the free trip to see Chicago. After finding out the results, the rest of us are confused and dumbfounded as to why or how such a decision was reached. All we can conclude is that current employees/management do not want to risk being passed up for promotions by hiring candidates from top business schools with actual airline industry knowledge. Furthermore, the recruiters never reached out to any candidate, and we had to inquire about the status of our applications in order to be notified we were no longer being considered. This department is unprofessional, and frankly, I'm glad I now have the opportunity to go to an airline that actually values talent.

Applied through my university's on campus recruiting system. Had an on campus interview and then an onsite, final round interview in Chicago. Was given a quick decision within a few weeks.

I started the process through my University's career services. I had a 30 minute first round interview on campus that mostly consisted of questions regarding the airline industry and other standard questions about my own experiences. The second round interview was held on-site, and consisted of an online math and logic assessment, followed by three 45 minute interviews with managers in the office. It was important to know recent developments in the airline industry, and what United's current threats and opportunities are.
