I interviewed with the hiring managers (two of them, one is the manager and the other one is the lead) through a phone interview. It lasted about 40- 45 minutes. I received non-stop questions one after another so make sure you have good factual stories to tell. The phone interview was obtained through a recruiter. Questions were based on my former role and job duties so make sure you know your resume. The two interviewers introduced their names first then followed by questions. The first question was about my career move which was asked by the manager in a sarcastic voice and annoying soft snicker.That tone threw me off right away and had an idea of the type of manager I would be reporting to. Then, it followed by a question about my former duties and responsibilities, that lead to half a dozen questions about those duties and responsibilities listed on my resume.
They asked me about a software tool that was not in the job description but was the main tool for the job. Very deceitful question. Why not list it as a requirement in the job description in the first place?Anyways I was disappointed to know that they were using a secretary/admin tool not an engineering tool for that kind of job. My impression was GA should have interviewed a secretary not an engineer. I think using an admin tool versus and engineering tool for a job that requires an engineering tool is what they meant being innovative. Shocking.
Two weeks from the date of the interview and repeated follow through by the recruiter with no response, GA finally made up their mind and told the recruiter no.
