Territory Manager at Valspar
No Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2012 – Reviewed Mar 6, 2012
Interview Details – I was contacted by a recruiter via email asking if I was interested before she called me, emailed back I was interested, gave phone number and open to call at her time frame, called her late in the day on the date she said she would call, said she never got email. Did phone interview, my information was escalated to project manager at recruitment office, had to wait 2 days to see if I would be called for interview, was sent email scheduling interview, had to wait for second email telling me where interview was to take place along with "tips" for interview- dress appropriately, bring 2 copies of resume (which were not needed) etc. Day of interview, met with two people, Regional Sales Manager and Divisional Sales Manager. Had a (what I thought) was a good interview, lively conversation, felt my accomplishments shined. Received phone call two days later from Regional guy, had additional questions, seemed concerned about my ability to use computer in store to take notes, explained to him I had no problems with it, just don't currently do it as current and former company did not have technology for it. Was originally told decision would be made in a week, followed up 1 week later when I did not hear anything, was told decision was going to take another week, still nothing, called original Recruiter, Project manager recruiter and both people I interview with, no calls returned, very unprofessional

Engineer at Valspar
Declined Offer – Interviewed in May 2008 – Reviewed Jul 13, 2010
Interview Details – A phone interview with HR followed by two days of 1:1 interviews. The first day consisted of five 1:1 interviews. After two days I was called back in to present and interview again. The presentation was of any project I had worked on in the past four years. After the presentation, there were three more 1:1 interviews. I was called with an offer three days after the second round.
Interview Question – The presentation was the most difficult part. There were four people in the room that ranged from six sigma experts to PhDs. There were some really technical questions asked. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Too much lab work required for the position
