Interviewed Mar 2010 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 4+ weeks)

The interview was with the manger of marketing and his supervisor. The supervisor was very nice and tried to make you feel comfortable by making small talk. I was hard to get a feel for the office environment as I was put in a small meeting room while I waited to be interviewed.

Interview Questions

The manger gave me a riddle: What do you comb your hair with, clean your teeth with and sit on?

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 4 weeks)

I applied at least a few months ago, and received a call from HR requesting me to go and do the test. I was with 2 other candidates, and maybe there will be more. The skills test was very technical and required me to recall knowledge from school and my current job. Lean Six Sigma, Autocad, Ergonomics, VSMs.
After the engineering dept reviewed the test, I was called into their offices to meet with the 2 hiring managers. It was a panel interview, with HR, asking very by the book situational/behaviour questions. Look up online "behaviourial interview" and pretty much these are the things they are asking about conflicts, project implementation, risks, working with people and general expertise in specific areas (LSS, Autocad, Excel, Access).
I did feel that I was being rushed through the interview with my questions about the company. Make sure that doesn't happen. I still don't feel confident about my knowledge about the work environment, but I can definately offer my first impressions. Their offices seemed messy, no windows that I could see, a manufacturing environment, but could be more lively. The people seemed friendly, but not as social as I would like. I would love to speak to some of the people that work there.
I was sent an email from HR asking me about my salary expectations and was informed that I would get a call (3rd week) for a 2nd interview.
