      HR Generalist Interview

      16 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Malvern, PA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Penn State (Malvern, PA)

      Interview

      You are contacted by a recruiter first. The first round of interviews were with three current employees who are all in the department. They round table rapid fired interviews questions for about 50 minutes. Some questions were a bit odd, but a majority had to do with the interview. No real chance to get to know the potential employee and their personality with how quick the questions came, and no real chance given to have a conversation... just question and answer.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      What do you know about the campuses you will be working at?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      What was the last mistake you made in your job and how did you correct it?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      How would you deal with a manager that would want to bend the rules a bit?

      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Penn State

      Interview

      Phone call then on site. Standard round Robin questions where the asker doesn't care about the question they ask. Process takes forever, you never hear back. No agility or out of the box conversations.
