Entrust (Houston) interview questions

The interview process with Entrust Inc is generally very straightforward. You will meet with 2-3 people. First, you will meet with one of their recruiters to discuss your skills, and they even go through a brief personality test. Afterwards, you will most likely have interviews with 1, or 2 managers. Finally, they would normally present you with a proficiency test relating to programs such as MS Office Suite. In all honesty, the interviews with the first two individuals (the recruiter and one of the managers) felt very good overall. They were on time, and respectful. The first manager that I spoke with was an amazing individual who was very knowledgeable about the industry, and he gave off a really good impression of the company. He actually made you want to learn more about the industry, and to strive in it. It is very rare to find someone THAT passionate about their position, at least during a brief, 15 minute interview. Unfortunately, the second manager that I had the 'chance' of interviewing with rubbed me the wrong way. After going on so many interviews, you learn to know when enough is enough. The third interviewer (I was supposed to speak with them in combination with the first manager), didn't end up attending the interview until 25-30 minutes later. Again, as someone who has interviewed quite a bit, I found this to be unbelievably rude and inconsiderate. The funny thing is that, I am sure that if I was even 3 minutes late, I would have no longer been considered for the position right then and there. When the third interviewer finally did come in to discuss the position, they only talked with me for about a good 3-7 minutes. The questions were basically the same exact questions that the recruiter had asked. The difference was that, this manager really rushed through her questions, unlike the recruiter who was actually interested in learning more about the potential candidate. Even though you would normally be invited for testing, I was not, so I figured that I was no longer considered for the position (Which was fine). However, to this day, the manners of the last interviewer has stuck with me. Even more so since, I've now had the chance to see how interviews SHOULD be conducted - professionally and respectfully.

The interview process was very quick compared to other employers. I heard back from the Hiring Manager in the same week. The interview itself last about an hour then they had me do some test to see how much I knew about certain programs.
