TE approached me for the position. The HR people set up the interview, very easy. The two interviewers told me they had been brought out of retirement to interview me. That was the first bad sign. One interviewer did not talk much after his initial introduction. The other interviewer seemed more interested in telling me his importance and being called back into work. I had experience in the department that I was being interviewed for with another company. They did not ask me about that experience, only about my experience that did not pertain to the new position. I had all the experience for the position, but they asked questions about a very small part of my capabilities, ignoring the experience that they needed. There was nothing that they asked that I could not answer. When I mentioned another TE manager that I had worked with in the past, he told me very condescendingly, "honey, TE is a very big company and we all just don't know each other!" Calling me "honey" for the second time was sex discrimination, being condescending because I am female was worse. I have worked for global companies that employ 10x the number of people that TE employs. I probably could have filed a complaint, but I did not want to work with this man if they decided to make him my manager and keep him. The man was a creton so far outside the identity of TE that I could not believe that anyone would pull this discriminative person back out of retirement to interview anyone. He did not seem to really understand how to conduct an interview, had no idea of how to guide the interview to retrieve vital experience or capabilities from me, and he was pompous and condescending. He was an electrical engineer that knew nothing of what it took for a design engineer to take a part to production. I was not being hired to do the electrical engineer position, and since he did not know what my position entailed, he asked the wrong questions. My position would have required me to lead a team to develop the hardware to carry his current, solve the production problems, and take their theory into the real world. I did not get the offer because he did not understand what he was trying to hire. As I said, he was more interested in bragging about his own importance and putting me in my "honey" place to have the people soft skills to understand what he really needed. They made a serious mistake bringing this person back to do the hiring. His job was to find out if I had the Product DDVL skills, and the leadership skills to back him up, and he failed. TE has always been a company that values women and many women hold prominent positions. I received a very nice rejection notice that said "although you know a lot about connectors (20 years of design, development, patents, and leadership skills) they didn't think that I had the skills to develop their type of RF products." These were the same products that I had just spent a couple of years taking to production for another company. This is the experience that he never asked one question about. I cannot help but compare his interview with the interview with high level management in the company where I work know. They were expert at getting right to what they needed and even pulling out experiences that I do not list on my resume. These managers knew everything but my shoe size, and I figure they could guess that. The gap between the interview techniques were more than I can explain. These interviewers never made me feel bad, uncomfortable, looked down on, or insulted. Their interviews did make me walk away knowing that I had been interviewed by an expert that knew what they wanted and how to extract that information from me. TE is a good company and deserves a competent interviewer. This was one of the worst interviews that I have ever been through and if that person is to be the new style of interviewer that TE will choose, I would not advise any woman to apply to TE. He was that insulting.
