Granite Telecommunications Sales Representative Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was very streamlined and communication was great. The recruiter seemed very knowledgeable about the company because they've been there a long time. The managers who interviewed me asked thorough questions.

It was a two man interview, felt like I was being interrogated by the local police. The first manager was nice, relatable, and asked good questions; the only question that was disconcerning from the first Manager was "Do you think you will fit into the culture?". I thought that was very odd. The second manager, was not so nice. He was pompous, pretentious, as well as hostile during the interview. He made me question why I wouldn't want to find a job during the pandemic and also asked if I had any regrets in life. It was an extremely unprofessional interview. I felt like the first manager was playing the good cop and the second manager was playing the bad cop. The interview was more of "Why did you do x y and z?" rather than "Why would you be a good candidate for us?" I felt like he was trying to pry into my past decisions rather than qualify me as a candidate for the position. When I walked into the office, it felt like I walked into a bad movie set depicting office life in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Very outdated, golf memorabilia and accessories scattered throughout the sales floor. Wouldn't recommend.

I got referred by a staffing agency that sent my resume to Granite. Within a week, I got an interview with them. Before meeting the hiring manager, I had to complete a 20-30 minute assessment test. However, I never got to interview for the role I applied for. The hiring manager explained that the position my agency applied for was already filled. They wanted me to interview for a different, lower-level role. I think I didn't pass the assessment test because they didn't proceed with the interview. They should have informed me about failing the test and their lack of interest.
