Received and Declined Offer

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Hackettstown, NJ (took 4+ weeks)

One of the odder interview experiences I've ever had. The usual "tell me about a time when" type questions, but rather than probing on skills, they probe on politics. These guys are paranoid!

"Tell me about a time when a co-worker sobotaged one of your projects"? Umm... that's never happened? "Really?".

"Tell me about a time when your boss disagreed with you in front of senior management"

"Tell me about a time when you knew a co-worker was presenting incorrect information just to push a project ahead of one of yours"

I left the interview feeling sick. When I received the offer I declined immediately.

Interview Questions

Tell me about a time your boss disagreeed with you in front of senior management?

Answer Question

Tell me about a time a co-worker attempted to sabotage one of your projects?

Answer Question

Reason for Declining

I don't think I can work with these people. No wonder they've not launched anything truly innovative in 20+ years. They are stuck in political quicksand at HQ.

Other Details

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Personality Test and a Drug Test.

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took a day)

This was an on-campus interview, done round-robin style with two pairs of interviews. They were very nice and asked mainly behavioral questions. The free box of candy was helpful for getting me over not getting the job.
