Interview
I was contacted by the Human Resources department and set up a time for a phone interview within the week. Asked basic background questions and why I was interested in the job. A few days later was contacted again by HR via email to schedule an in-person interview. Went, shadowed for half an hour, then met with 2 higher ups. They asked similar standard interview questions.

Question 1
What's a situation you were put in where things changed. How did you deal with it.

Interview
Process started off well enough. Got contacted for a phone interview, which consisted of many of the same questions listed on this site. Both interviewers were friendly, engaging, and seemed very knowledgable. Thought interview went well and was invited in via email for an in house interview the following week. Met with a current GCUS rep and shadowed him for about 20 min before the interview. Interviewers asked the same questions as the phone interview, yet interviewers were very unprofessional. As mentioned by an earlier review, both seemed like they didn't want to be there. They were playing on their phones, checking time, and constantly looking out the window. Any questions asked to them consisted of one or two word answers. Following interview, both got up without thanking me to come in and left quickly. Emailed HR the following week with no response. Called in and HR said no decision made. Repeated process the following week, and found out I wasn't selected, not surprising. Received validation of this the next day in a rejection email. Process started very well and ended on a sour note due to two young, unprofessional interviewers

Interview
Started off with a phone interview. I think this is just a screening to make sure that you aren't a totally clueless person and are enthusiastic about the company. That evening I was scheduled for an in house interview for the following week. Their office is great. Very modern, beautiful set up, lots of energy. I was interviewed by a manager and global customer support team leader. I looked over this website before going in and thankfully they asked exact questions that people had listed. ie- why bloomberg? what are your strengths/weaknesses? what is the difference between good customer service & great customer service...
Things went well and I got an email that evening that I will be interviewed by the head director a few days later via phone call since she was located in London. Well, I guess things didn't go so well with her because a week later I got a rejection email! Ohhhh the joys of job hunting! But just staying 100% enthusiastic and pro excellent customer service is key!! good luck.
