First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Tyco.
Embedded Software Developer
First, I had a phone screening with a recruiter where they asked about my experiences and abilities to see if my background and knowledge were a good fit for the role. Then, I interviewed with HR and the technical team lead. They asked about my personality to check my communication skills and how I handle various situations. I also had to discuss my past technical achievements and experience. Additionally, I was given a written test to assess my C language knowledge and skills.

- What is your past experience in embedded systems?
Sales Representative
First, I was contacted by a recruiter who presented the job. Then, there was a quick phone interview/screening. After that, I interviewed with two sales managers at their local office in Chicagoland. A follow-up interview occurred, and I received a verbal offer. Following a security check, fingerprinting, and a drug screen, I reviewed the benefits and the poor territory, and then decided to move on. The recruiter was quite unpleasant about my decision and tried to persuade me to accept.
- Tell me about your basic sales experience.
Contract Administrator
The interview for the Contract Administrator role lasted an hour and was conducted professionally. I spoke with the manager about my resume and the job's responsibilities, which involve supporting the transition to a B2B System. We also covered my qualifications, Excel proficiency, and interpersonal skills needed for the management system. This position was in a department that, like most at Tyco's Princeton location, was eventually downsized.
- Can you tell me about your experience?
- What are your qualifications for this role?
- What are your skills in Excel?
ERP Manager
HR reached out to me directly. We had three interviews: one with HR, one with the direct manager, and another with a peer manager. The first interview was a long phone call, and the last two were in person. The interviews felt relaxed and conversational. They asked about both technical and soft skills, with a focus on soft skills for the role. The in-person interviews seemed to go well, but I didn't get feedback afterward. I had to call to find out that the job was moved to the US and no longer available in Ireland.
