TESSCO Interview Questions
& Process

It was a frustrating experience because I applied for one specific job but ended up being considered for others, and it was never clear what role I was actually interviewing for. They ultimately said I didn't get the job because I asked too many 'negative' questions based on what I'd read on Glassdoor. The ironic part is that everything I asked about was confirmed during the interviews, so my questions weren't out of line. They suggested I should have focused more on positive aspects of the culture. It felt like they wanted me to only ask about why Tessco is great and avoid any mention of the issues that are apparently common in most reviews. Later, I learned that although I spoke with people from many departments, they all felt I was qualified, but they didn't have any open positions. HR claimed there were 8 openings, but I heard from other sources that the individual groups had no vacancies. There seems to be a significant disconnect.

Applied online and got a call from HR a few days later. HR was really professional. They sent me a packet to fill out and bring to the interview. I got there early as told and met with HR. I was told I'd meet with the VP of Supply Chain Management next. After my HR interview, I saw her talking with some managers outside the door. The manager who interviewed me wasn't the one she said would be interviewing me. My resume is good, I'm finishing my graduate degree in Supply Chain Management this spring. But the interviewer said that degrees aren't as important as being a 'good fit'.

I had my first interview with the VP of sales, which was pretty standard, asking about my background. Then, I talked to a sales manager who was currently in the role, and it was a really good conversation; I actually wanted to work for this person. The third interview was over the phone with an older gentleman. He was either multitasking or had other people in the room because he was on speakerphone and it felt unprofessional. That interview left a bad impression of the company. I heard back soon after that they decided to go in a different direction, and honestly, I wasn't interested anymore after that third interview.

Got a call from a recruiter after applying online, went through a process of a tech phone call and in person meeting. I then had in person call with someone at Tessco, call went well, interview was long and overwhelming with details that should've been saved for later and things that shouldn't have been said at all. In person consisted of more of the same and went relatively well.
