While I was taking a fundamental process test, they interviewed me at the same time. I have 8 years of experience in this type of role, and the test was easy, but I took it as an insult to my character and intelligence.

Behavioral Technical Coding
First, there was a 30 min call with HR. I told them I had other deadlines so they hurried things up and booked me for an on-site. The on-site day had 7 interviews with different managers/engineers, mostly behavioral. A current process engineer gave me a tour of the site and I had lunch with the team. Booking travel was easy and I got reimbursed quickly. They even let me stay an extra night to see the area. I turned down the offer because it was too far from a big city. It seemed like I would have to work about 50 hours a week, and adding an hour commute each way felt like too much. Everyone seemed like good people to work with, but the job would require me to do many different things since it's a smaller company. The base salary was about average for the area ($95k + 5% bonus target). It was pretty much impossible to work remotely.
Confirmed questions7 questions
