Top Rated Big Interview Alternatives
The option to either using the fast track or the mastery track is the best feature. If I am in a hurry to prepare for an interview, I am given the most important preparation tools via the fast track option. On the other hand, if I have time and just want to improve my interviewing skills I can take the mastery track. Also, there are a lot of resources provided to me, especially the virtual interview through which I can prepare my answers and they are recorded and I am given feedback.

The thing I dislike about Big Interview is that there are too many headings to choose from. I do not want to see so many headings as it makes the use of the tool intimidating. Also, the feedback is not given immediately which is downer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
11 out of 12 Total Reviews for Big Interview
Big Interview is robust when it comes to its primary function: virtual interview practice. AI-powered feedback is a nice touch for providing users feedback without even needing to share their practice with others. Provides the ability to create custom interview questions and practices, but comes with hundreds (thousands?) of pre-built interviews across a huge range of professional fields and difficulty levels. In addition to interview practice, additional video-based curricula are available for things like salary negotiation, resume-building, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The admin portal is lacking, with minimal reporting capabilities and lack of ability to fine tune admin/staff user privileges. The help/support site is pretty bare-bones, as well, and offers little help when you actually need it (lack of articles or topics simply not addressed at all). Live help is advertised as being live/available most of the time, but almost every time I've attempted to contact them that way, my message gets marked as "read" then a while later it tells me I was disconnected for no activity and the support person is no longer available.

Nothing. It did not fill my expectactions and it was not useful on my case at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I paid for this service thinking that it would be helpful for my current job search (residency interview), since they have Medical School interview training. I paid for only 1 month - $79 (be aware: THEY DON'T MENTION THAT THIS IS A RECURRENT CHARGE, AND I NEVER ACCEPTED TO BE BILLED AGAIN).
It turned out to be completely useless for me, so I never used it. Since this period has been extremely stressful, I forgot to ask for the money refund right away (they have a money-back policy). But surprise!! One month later I was charged again 79 dollars, and asked for the refund. They initially accepted, made me fill a "special form" since I was falling outside the 30-day period. Finally, they only refunded half it!
Despite multiple emails, no way to get all my money back. They have an activity tracker that shows how much of their service was used (0% in my case). And still, they refuse to give me back my $160.
MY ADVICE: DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Big Interview doesn't have personal human coaching Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Big Interview is used by career center staff and faculty to help students practice elevator pitches and prepare them for virtual a virtual interviews. The specialized categories of questions by industry have helped some students land a job. They exclaim, "Those were the exact questions I was asked!" It is simple to use, and students have zero technical issues figuring it out. Many complete the assignment using their SMART phone, which reflects the real world. The best part is - it's affordable!

Creating assignments. I use my own template document and have to "paste" the code for each course. On other products I paste in the class emails and the message is sent automatically with directions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At Rider University Center for Career Development and Success, we have offered Big Interview as a resource and tool for our students and alumni for over five years. Our students and alumni have improved their skills by utilizing Big Interview on their own and with the support of their Career Coach. Additionally, Big Interview is always on point with the changing trends in recruiting, which is essential for college students looking to enter the competitive job market. I would highly recommend Big Interview to any college or university looking for a tool to assist students with the internship and job search process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent customer support, easy-to-use/student-friendly interface, and helpful content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would like a bit more user-friendly process for developing class assignments and custom interview sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Big Interview has a multitude of features that are great for preparing for interviews in a myriad of different industries. The vast question library sorted by industry, competency and other categories is extremely helpful for creating customized interview sets with ease. Furthermore, I have found the questions to be quite relevant and current with today's industry and social trends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When rating and reviewing interview assignments, I am unable to change the criteria by which I rate assignments. Given the many ways in which interviewers today evaluate their candidates, I would like to be able customize the criteria I use when giving feedback to students. The ability to do so would make the platform even more realistic and beneficial for its users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s okay, nothing much to write about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was taken up by Pamela’s Big Interview 5 part free email series, and then before my interview with Google, I thought I should pay the fee, it was $120 for a month subscription. I found the 5 lectures to be fairly sufficient over the content in the app. I am not good at formulating answers, but the model replies in the app wasn’t so useful for my field as an architect and I went online and found another free website instead to formulate my answers. The fee I felt was very high and expected more. I only used it once and didn’t seem to require to use it again after the first round Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interview “roulette” option is fantastic for students that struggle with the “unknown” aspects of interviewing. It can show them in the video review what their initial reactions are truly like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is nice that there is the ability to preset interviews, but it can be a bit clunky and time consuming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
