Overhead Door Corporation Interview Questions
& Process

The interview was really chill and laid back. I spoke with the hiring manager and the VP of marketing. They asked straightforward questions about the role and my background. The chat was about 45 minutes long, and I got an offer that same day.

I applied through their online system and got an initial call from the internal recruiter to see if I was interested and to tell me more about the job and company. She then set up a phone interview with the hiring manager for later that week. The phone chat lasted about 45 minutes, and we just talked about my background and how it fit the role. After that, I got an email to do some online tests, which took about an hour and included a personality/leadership assessment and some IQ-style questions. A few days later, I had a long interview day, spending about 6.5 hours talking with 5 VPs and the division President. Everyone was really nice and friendly. Most of the interviews weren't super structured, which was good because I got to ask a lot of questions. The recruiters kept things organized. One concerning thing was that the person currently in the role didn't know they were being replaced, which felt a bit sneaky. Ultimately, it didn't matter because they ghosted me and never got back to me, even when I followed up. I guess it's just another company stuck in the past, so I moved on.

The hiring process began with a phone screen where they asked about my skills to gauge my suitability for the role. They seemed quite keen on me as a candidate, despite my lack of direct experience in this specific area and the fact that it would be a shift from my usual work. They were pushing for an onsite interview the very next day with corporate staff, not individuals I'd be working with locally. This felt unusual, and the opportunity didn't seem quite legitimate. They spoke highly of their company, emphasizing its advantages over my current employer, including higher earning potential, company size, and superior benefits. This made me uneasy. Before what would have been my second interview, I decided to withdraw, stating my disinterest and the fact that the pay was outside my desired range. However, they insisted I attend, highlighting that even a slight increase over my current salary would be beneficial, having learned my current pay during the initial screening. I didn't want to commit time to something I wasn't enthusiastic about and was getting negative impressions of the company. While the workplace itself might be fine, external reviews suggest it might not be a sustainable long-term environment.

I applied for a position and got a quick call back. They mentioned the role I applied for was filled but they thought I'd be a great fit for another opening. I then had a phone interview, and after that, they invited me for an in-person interview. At the in-person interview, they asked me basically the same things as the phone interview. At the end, they told me I had to take an assessment. The person interviewing me said the assessment doesn't determine if I get hired and she doesn't really get why everyone has to take it. I don't think I did well on the assessment, but I'm waiting to hear back, which probably won't happen until after the holidays.
