Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Terex Corporation.
Manufacturing Engineer
Did a phone screen with general questions. Then went for an in person interview which started with a 1 hour factory tour. After that, I had a panel interview with about 10 people. The panel asked random questions based on my resume, but it seemed like no one on the panel had read my resume or done any research on me before the interview.
- Can you describe what your previous company does?
Manufacturing Engineer
I got this job through the Terex website. A recruiter from HR called me over a month later to set up an in-person interview. The interview was scheduled for 11am, and everyone was punctual. I met with a team of 3 employees who were really friendly and made me feel comfortable. They asked me to walk them through my resume and then formulated their questions based on my responses. I haven't received an offer yet, as it's only been 3 days since the interview.
- Be ready to discuss your resume in detail, as most questions will stem from it, so know your projects and experiences thoroughly.
Manufacturing Engineer
About 3 weeks after applying online, I got contacted. First, I had a brief chat with the recruiter. Then, I had a phone interview with the engineering team. After that, they invited me for an onsite tour and interview. I met with 3 people during the interview: two engineers and one QA manager. Unfortunately, two other people didn't show up. They said I'd hear back in about a week. I followed up via email a week later and was told I'd hear in a few days. Another week passed, so I followed up again and they said they were still deciding. A week and a half later, I reached out to my friend who works there and followed up with HR via email again. My friend mentioned I should hear in a couple days, but HR never replied and I still haven't heard anything after 5 weeks.
- Could you tell me about your background and what's on your resume?
- Is the work schedule acceptable to you? (5 am to 3:30 pm, 4 days a week with occasional overtime)
- How do you handle high-pressure, fast-paced problem-solving scenarios?
