Roush Industries Interview Questions
& Process

Had a quick chat with the recruiter first, just some basic stuff. Then, I had a longer interview on-site with the engineering team, about an hour, where we went over my whole resume and they asked a few technical questions. I also got to present my portfolio. They offered me the job, but I had to turn it down. Super nice people though, I'd totally apply again if my schedule worked out.

This was one of the most unprofessional interviews I've ever experienced, particularly for a management-level position. Despite numerous follow-ups where I inquired about any concerns or need for clarification, no feedback was provided. It's baffling when you are a top candidate in the US and perfectly fit the role, yet communication ceases for over a month and a half. Instead of a professional rejection, a ridiculous letter was sent, especially after I had turned down another offer based on how well the interviews seemed to go. I will never apply to or support this brand again! This is one of the worst companies I've interviewed with due to a complete lack of transparency, poor communication, and no due diligence. Candidates, beware! It's evident this company doesn't value candidates who are fans or loyal to their brand. After this experience, I will no longer support this company or its brand. I hope it was worth losing a candidate and a patron of your brand!

So I applied online and then got a call for a phone interview. There were two phone interviews and then an on-site. First was HR, second was the manager, and the on-site was also with the manager. It was pretty straightforward, interviews got longer and went from general background to specific skills. The on-site included meeting the team, seeing the place, learning about the job, and a quick computer modeling test. HR was super helpful with scheduling and the manager set up my travel, which was great. But getting an offer decision was tough. They missed the notification date and I had to push HR a lot to find out what was going on.

I found the job online and applied. I had a phone interview where they explained the role and asked about my experience. They seemed impressed, but a day later I was rejected. About a month later, they contacted me again and asked me to come for an onsite interview at their regional office, which involved a 3-hour drive. When I arrived, it seemed they had forgotten about the interview, and the manager was late. They asked some questions that didn't seem relevant and debated if I was a good fit. The interview ended quickly, in about 20 minutes, due to a supposed meeting. I felt they had already decided against me. I thought they could have asked some of these questions over the phone to save me the travel time and expenses. It felt rude, and they never informed me about the outcome.
