TMX Aerospace Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Kent, WA (took 2 weeks)

Interviewing managers give an inaccurate impression of the company and of the work that will be performed.

First interview: 2 individuals (departing team supervisor, and team leader) Friendly, up beat.
  * Questions about excel skills, project management experience.
  * Talked about company culture and how this was a "great place to work"

Second Interview: 3 individuals (departing team supervisor and two team managers)
  * Questions about excel skills, previous experience
  * There was a lot of cryptic, quick discussion between the interviewers that felt a bit unprofessional. They did not strike me as career professionals (and, in fact, I found out later that one of their past management experience included only fast food)

3rd Interview: 4 individuals (the same three from before PLUS one of the lower executives
(By this point, I had a really bad feeling about this company--beige cubicles, with no employees facing outward, all with their faces into the corner. Everyone stopped talking as managers walked by. )
  * Questions about stress management
  * Lower level executive appeared to deliberately come across as unfriendly. She made little eye contact and even when she smiled, it was not friendly.

Forth interview: President
(By this time, I had all but been offered the job)
  * He talked and talked about how TMX was a great company and there was SO much room for growth. (Both claims turned out to be inaccurate)
  * He barely asked me any questions. His office was unreasonably large but with mid-grade furniture--very "good ol' boy", which proved to be a very good example for the rest of the company.
