Interviewed Dec 2011 in Niles, IL (took 2 months)
Applied on-line and called the recruiter whose name was listed on the reply notification email. After much back-and-forth about salary requirements, because they were concerned my previous salary was "too high", I told them I was going to start doing volunteer work full-time if they didn't interview me soon. I had several phone discussions with the HR person and one 2-hour phone call with the hiring manager. There was no question about my being over-qualified for the position, but I was really interested in the company because of their innovative products, and reputation for retaining employees thru good benefits and a great work environment. I had worked 70+ hours/week in my previous job and told them I was willing to do that again for Shure. When they finally scheduled the on-site interview, the hiring manager sent me a large spreadsheet to analyze. The questions were ambiguous and although I did my best, he did not respond to questions prior to the interview. When I arrived for the interview, my first meeting was with an engineer who appeared to be falling asleep while I was answering his questions. My impression was he was the "talent" and I would be "serving" him. I next talked with the hiring manager, the HR manager, a person who works with the supply chain group, and a manager of planning. They all emphasized how important it was to "befriend the right people" or you wouldn't get anywhere at Shure. The test I was sent by the hiring manager turned out to be a trick question. At one point he asked me how I felt interviewing over the holidays, since it must be very depressing, especially since I wasn't that qualified for the position! I think he wanted me to cry, but I didn't fall for it. I thanked everyone profusely for the opportunity to interview, but the last straw came when the planning manager told me I had mis-represented the name of my degree. This was absolutely false and I of course have the degree to prove it. Overall it was a very hostile interview, designed to make the job-seeker feel worthless, and I was very surprised after all of the great things I'd heard about Shure. I left the interview knowing I wouldn't want to work there under any conditions. As an aside, the salary they quoted for the job is about 25% of the industry average. What is going on with this company????

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I interviewed for the position of a DSP engineering intern. I was asked questions about my background experience and relevant coursework. I was also asked behavioral questions such as my biggest strength, weakness etc. Overall the interview was very general.
