Scroggs,
This is a forum for opinions on many subjects. It is my opinion, having been to easyland for interview, that quite frankly they are not all that.
Constructive or not. That is my opinion. I am entitled to express it here or anywhere I like. As long as it is not defamatory. Which I don't think my post was.
Like you Scroggs, I fly for an upper quartile outfit.
I was unimpressed with easyjet's attitude towards the candidate. All discussions were TOTALLY based on how good they were or are. Maybe they are. I jusr didn't think so.
They had no interest in the individual at all as a person. Only if you can fit into some mould. I am not into that, as it stifles people.
If you are orange, then great. If you are not (like me) then I hazard a guess that you would be unimpressed too.
The package is distinctly average, not as good as they suggest.....
Maybe it was a clash of personalities that went on for me, however it has tainted my view of what I thought may be a decent outfit to work for.
I am sure it suits some, but it doesn't suit me.
Any outfit who have clauses in your contract about industrial action..........if that is true, well I rest my case........you will be signing up for a world of pain if you accept stipulations like that.
The picture painted is one of all free BBQ's and parties. I however think in the future it will not all be beer and skittles. There will be pains in ej and I didn't like the idea of it. Huge expansion etc, without pain and grief? Never been done before. Let's hope they get it right this time then....
Scroggs, you are right. I didn't get the job. I didn't fit in. I am not worried about that, because it would have not worked out. But fitting in is a two way thing. They didn't fit my aspirations either.
This you see my dear Scroggs is the beauty of free speech.
How are things in VS now? I hope they have straightened out a bit and that things are looking good for the future.
I am afraid I have been spoiled. Once you have worked for an outfit who treat you well, you rather imagine that everyone does the same. Not the case though I think.....
Sorry, I forgot to add the THREE year bond for a large sum of money.......and the fact that I was told I would be interviewed for a London base. Not Scotland! In all, it was a waste of a day and diesel for me. Sorry to be so bleak and glum guys.
If it suits you, go for it. I am sure you will be just fine. They at least will not be bust tomorrow. Of that I am fairly sure.
Good luck.
