Pentaho Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Very detail oriented, looking for technically savy addition

Negotiation Details – I'd like more money

Interview Details – I found out about the job through a recruiter. I went through two 30 minute phone screens and was then brought in for a half day interview with multiple members of the company from different departments.

The questions revolved around my technical knowledge but also concentrated on my work style and how I dealt with team members. They were very interested in how I would integrate with the team.

After the interview, I was contacted by the recruiter to let me know that they had made an offer.

Interview Details – Phone interview. In person. In person with superior. Wouldn't share pitch wit me instead sent presentation and asked me to present it. Then had me back to present a business case presentation. Then said I was to formal and wanted just a conversation. What was supposed to last two weeks went over a period of two months.

Interview Details – Initial phase of the hiring process was quite good, recruiter is excellent person. All phone technical and management interviews were in a professional but friendly conversation.

Negotiation Details – 3 interviews done in one week, when then the company informed they were interested to put a job offer down. At that stage I expected then to start negotiating details with the role manager/director, however every single detail was taken by the recruiter only. No words in paper, everything over the phone.
Company asked to wait as they need to go through a partner to be able to put the job offer in place.
4 weeks passed by with no interactions with the hiring manager.
When it finally arrived, weeks later and loads of details discussed over the phone with the recruiter, there were discrepancies with what was agreed specifically regarding working hours and holiday entitlement which is a big concern for any employee.
On the attempt to clarify few bits, emailed back with a counter offer which is absolutely normal in a hiring process, manager withdrew the job offer straight away...

Could only see this company, or at least this manager, as very unprofessional and inflexible. That almost costed my current job.

Glad it didn't go through in the end as that demonstrated what I could be facing dealing with this person on daily basis, specifically being in a remote office.
Lesson learned..
