Default Atlas Interview Dec 1,2 and forward

Not a fan of websites making $$ on pilot interview experiences. So here's my experience for future applicants:

As they were short, DB informed us of a single panel interview consisting of HR & Tech.
My interview had a panel of 3. Escorted in by a senior Capt. After introductions, asked to talk about myself. Then Why Atlas? What is the word on the street about Atlas? What are some negatives that you hear? How would you fit into this dynamic lifestyle with disruptions all the time? Do you know anyone at Atlas?
Then was handed to the senior Capt. who would ask me tech. stuff.
Brief an Approach plate. Emergency procedures. What is your leadership style, talk us through it.
Any training failures? What have you learned from them? Do you have a pref on 767 vs 747?
Any questions for us?
Other guys interviewing with me had a few more tech Qs. MSAs, RNAV1 vs RNAV2, Qs on METARs. Pretty much no one got any NAT or SLOP Qs.

All in all, they are very practical and do their best to make it seem like a relaxed conversation. Lunch was excellent -provided by them.
Interviewees with a variety of backgrounds -a few military, some 737 guys, a few Regional jet captains and FOs, a few guys flying overseas. What struck me was that a lot of the guys had some international experience.
They expect to hire about 350 next year, the same number they've hired this year.

Expect to hear outcomes next week. Great if others who interviewed on Dec 1,2 could post about their experience and result as they find out..!
