I originally applied to a QE position at the Lakeland, FL facility. 1. Recruiter Phone Screen- Very General Questions regarding experience and future expectations. (Late June) 2. Hiring Manager Phone Interview- Once again, very informal discussion regarding skills and competencies. During this interview I realized that the hiring manager for the QE position may be interested in placing me in a supervisor position due to my laboratory manager experience. (Early July) 3. Gall-up Interview- Once again, this was a series of 150 (I think) questions that was not terribly difficult, I think they look for certain answers depending on the position you are applying for. (Mid-Late July) 4. Recruiter and Hiring Manager decide to bring me in for a 6 hour on-site interview for the QC Supervisor Position. This started with meeting with HR, engineers, directors, lunch with the hiring manager, and phone calls into Arizona to speak with other managers. Everything went well, everyone was very professional and seemed to be a good fit. (Early August) 5. The Recruiter called me and said the Hiring manager realized that they twisted my arm for the QC supervisor role and my technical aptitude was more than they need for a position that requires on more of a 'people person' to develop the individuals in that role. However, the manufacturing engineers had a position open that they thought I would be a good fit for; they needed a chemical engineer for a new chemical line they were installing. ((Early-Mid August) 6. I then had a phone interview with the engineering hiring manager and two of the manufacturing engineers (whom I had already met) to discuss the manufacturing engineer position. This was the only interview that I felt it was very rushed, we had allotted 30 minutes, but they were 8 minutes late calling and had to leave at the end of our allotted 30 minutes due to a jammed pack schedule. (Mid-August) 7. I received a phone call a couple days later stating that they went with someone who had more manufacturing/mechanical experience. (Mid August) Overall, I thought it was a good experience. At the time, I was slightly disappointed I didn't get the position because of the amount of time and effort that both parties put in. I think their interview process is interesting and they know the exact person they are looking for, if you fit directly in, not a triangle into a square hole, you are the person for the job.
