Run Away! This was the most ridiculous process I've ever been through. Upon submitting an application I was immediately asked for copies of college transcripts and a writing example. And then had to complete a survey (100 question personality profile). Then, a phone interview that started with a quiz regarding earned value principles (yes, a quiz). Then an in-person interview that included a mechanical aptitude test (for someone with a mechanical engineering degree). During the interview, I was left to pace about the conference room for over an hour because people had internal meetings to attend. Then, then they required another on-line leadership style assessment. The whole process was quite demeaning.

It was a 2 hour process with 4 separate 30 minute interviews. I went in skeptical and guarded seeking knowledge about the structure and expectations. The first 3 persons / groups went great and made me regret my initial concern. This company seemed great. The last brought it down. The last interviewer came in with an agenda. I had out of industry experience and that person was going to fix that. It became combative unfortunately and that person forgot it was a two way street. Experience does bring strength. I established my enthusiasm for a new opportunity and my capability. This interviewer was looking for a specific candidate prior to the interview. I was not that person. I was seeking a new opportunity to utilize my strengths and growth desire and and didn't need a new job. This is their choice but may overlook very good candidates. This is their choice of course.
