Honda of America Mfg. Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I had interned at Honda of America, Mfg. before as a Safety Engineer, so I was brought back a year later for a summer internship. I had not heard about the position until HR sent me an email asking if I would be interested in working with them again. I guess this shows that Honda does care about keeping in touch with its employees (or at least the interns).

I had to wait for almost a week before the interview was scheduled. That interview lasted for nearly two hours; the first half consisted of a series of typical behavioral questions and the second half included a tour of the plant and some introductions to a few key supervisors/coworkers for the internship.

A week and a half later, I emailed HR to ask for feedback and they got back to me with news that I have been selected for the position but they still needed to finalize things before it was official. Three business days later, I got that email.

This was a different and more in-depth interview than my previous Honda internship where I stayed within the interview room and didn't go into the factory. This could be because I had undergone the company's safety training during my first internship. Also, questions for my second internship were actually created by the interviewer than by a specially-formatted sheet. I suppose the process might be different for every department.

Interview Details – The process is basically using the common STAR system. A lot of profiling type of questions where you need to state the situation, describe the task, the actions you took, and the results. The interview is very impersonal. Questions are pre-packaged and not customized to learn any more or less about each interview candidate.

Interview Details – I got this interview for through a recruiter. It was $15/an hour for collections.
Be prepared to answer several behavioral questions such as:

Tell me about a time you had several tasks to complete but did not have time to finish all of them. How did you decide which tasks to complete and why?

Tell me about a time when you were part of a group and they went with a decision that you did not agree with?

I had a 2 person panel and it was pretty intimidting especially considering the postion i was applying for.

Interview Details – Applied online and received a phone call scheduling a phone interview. The phone interview started off with the interviewer going through my resume and asking me about my work experiences and my experiences with student groups. Then he asked of a lot of STAR "tell me a time when" questions. They took a long time to get back to me, so I called asking what the status of my application was, and they told me to wait again. The next day I received an e-mail saying I did not get the offer.
