Systems Design Engineer II at Corning
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Keene, NH – Reviewed Oct 2, 2012
Interview Details – The interviewing process is LONG. I applied the beginning of August and received an offer the end of September. After applying I had an HR screening interview. Over a week later I received a call to schedule a phone interview with the engineers there. A week later they let me know they wanted me to fly out to Keene. They arranged everything! The interview was exhausting but went well. The job offer was mailed.
Interview Question – For me I had studied a lot before hand so nothing really caught me off guard. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – The offer was competitive and the relocation package was good! Unfortunately the process was so long that I had started to pursue other opportunities. In the end I had to choose between the two and I decided on the one I was already pursuing.
