Cardno Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cardno.

Interview

Efficient & to the point. Interviewers were very nice and communicable during the entire process. The interview itself had a focus on resume items, and how well I saw myself working with a team, etc.

Application

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cardno (Tampa, FL) in January 2018.

Interview

1st round- phone interview with HR. Normal questions and super friendly.
2nd round- phone interview with Marketing Director. Easy questions and friendly conversation.
3rd round- Two assessments: Excel assessment and Spanish assessment. Easy, but time-consuming.
4th round- In person interview with three people. Easy questions and all of them were very friendly.

They assured me they would make the final decision by the following week, and three weeks went by and NOTHING happened. I reached out several times for an update and most of the time they didn't get back to me. It is frustrating that after spending so much time on them, they did not even have the courtesy of replying to your emails.

I applied online. I interviewed at Cardno in August 2017.

Interview

Extremely rude and curt interviewer. Can't understand why they'd have someone with such bad interpersonal skills interview people. Asked blunt questions in a brash way. Good sign to steer clear of organization. Lastly, said things like "we like you" and "if you could start next week would you?" and set up things to chat with hiring manager but then radio silence. Seems like I dodged a bullet.

Interview

Had a 15-30 minute phone interview followed by a 30-minute to 1-hour face-to-face interview. Questions mostly revolved around safety and your ability to deescalate situations. They also asked your familiarity with data processing, task orientation, and your ability to work without managerial supervision. Another topic of interest was how well you can work with others.

Interview

I applied online and got a call a month later from their HR personnel. I was not near any of their offices, but offered to drive out to meet them (several hour journey). When I arrived, about fifteen or so minutes early, I met with the regional manager and HR. They did not seem to have questions really thought out (I asked more, I think, than they asked me). They asked me to fill out an application that I had already done online. When I asked them about it, they said I didn't need to fill it out after all; their hiring system was still being integrated in a merger and they didn't seem to have a clue.
They talked about my previous job (we shared a common background). The HR guy stressed how much they were a safety company rather than a consulting company. At the very end, the manager felt the need to give a short rant about the Ferguson Riots. In all it took half an hour.
They did not offer to pay for my gas or anything (they were not obligated to, but some gesture would have been nice).

I didn't hear back from them for over a month (they told me 3 weeks). When I finally called them to inquire, they said the position had been filled. Nobody bothered to tell me.

Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ months. I interviewed at Cardno.

Interview

I was contacted by Cardno's HR department directly from a contact I made at the AIDS 2012 conference. The HR representative told me about the upcoming position and that they would like to set up a phone interview with me. It took a few weeks to set up the phone interview due to the travel schedule of the Director. The phone interview was with the Director and lasted about 45 min. She was very thorough and asked me specific information about projects I worked on in the past. At the end of the interview she said she would be in touch. I didn't hear back from them, so I followed up with an email. I was told the position was on hold. About one month later, I was sent an email asking to come in for an in-person interview to meet the whole team. At this point, I was out of the country and unable to come in person for the interview. The team was accommodating, and we set up a skype interview. There were about 6 people on the panel, which included all members of the team. Everyone was very professional and took turns asking me questions. Questions again were focused on my relevant experience to the project needs. There were a few behavioral type questions asked as well. Everyone was really friendly, and I felt like it was a team I would love to work with and was hopeful for the job. Again, I was told I would hear back after a few weeks. I followed up with the group after a few weeks via email, and I was told there was a hold on the position due to key decisions needing to be made on the project and staff changes and that a member of the team would be in touch with me once the hold was lifted. About two weeks later, a member of the team reached out to me via email and sent me the new, updated job description and told me I could apply on-line if I felt I was a good fit for the position. While I felt I was indeed qualified, in fact I felt my experiences were even more relevant to the updated position as it was heavily focused on evaluation, which is my specialty, I chose not to go through the process of reapplying. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly, and they seemed like a great group.
