Pall Field / Application Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

Over 2 months, I went through 4 interviews. It started with a phone call, and the remaining 3 were video. The hiring manager was great, but I was bummed about not getting specific feedback since I got to the final round and was rejected. It was a generic rejection email, and I feel like if you get that far, you should know why you weren't chosen.

Started with a quick call with HR, then had a 1:1 with my direct manager, followed by another 1:1 with a different manager. After that, there was a technical phone interview, and the last step was a group interview with both managers. So, 5 interviews in total.

I was first contacted by a third party recruiter. When I told him what I was looking for (working a smaller territory vs. nationwide coverage), he reached out to one of the Pall recruiters. My phone screening with the Pall recruiter went very well. I told him I was looking to work in a smaller territory than the nationwide travel I am currently doing. The Pall recruiter assumed I would be working in a smaller territory. He later set me up with a phone interview with the hiring manager. It was during the phone interview that I knew things weren't going well- he was scrutinizing my job history, even though I have been working for the same company (traveling 100%) for more than five years. Previously before that, I had worked several contract positions where I had no control in staying longer. Then, when he asked me why I was looking to work for Pall, I told him that I was looking to work in a smaller territory. It was at that moment that he interrupted me and told me that it was nationwide travel. I told him that the recruiter mentioned that I would be working in a smaller territory. He then told me that "nationwide travel is in the job description". It's not. The phone interview ended. I was disappointed. I later expressed my disappointment with the Pall recruiter and the third party recruiter. The Pall recruiter told me that the hiring manager had "very high expectations". Ok then. I feel that I was caught up in a "Bait and Switch" situation with the Pall recruiter. I told my third party recruiter what happened. He's still looking for a position that would be a good fit for me. Anyway, I would never consider a role with Pall. I'm done with Danaher!
