General Dynamics Interview Questions

Short Phone call with hiring manager. They decide after one phone call if you're hired or not. Very easy interview to do. Test basic coding knowledge and was not at all very challenging

informal 30 minutes pre screen process conducted via a phone with one interviewer good questions posed by interviewer as well as decent information given . unfortunately had to take the call outside of work so my reception was not perfect

Two members of the photography team came to my college in Santa Barbara to interview prospective applicants for the staff photographer position. They were both alumni members who had graduated from my college (Brooks Institute) and had been at General Dynamics as photographers for years. They looked over and loved my portfolio of photographs, asking me for details on I composed, lit, and printed the photographs. I explained the details and as the interview concluded they asked if I had any questions for them. This was my very first big-time interview and it was a subject we did not cover in our classes. I responded, "Well, what does General Dynamics do? Oh my god, how far off base did I look at these two??? They looked at each other wondering what rock I must have climbed out from under. Then explained that GD was one of, if not the largest government defense contractors in the country, and on and on! I had two more interviews at the plant in Pomona and got the dream job that I wish no I had never left. They moved the plant to Tucson, AZ, and I chose to stay in my beach community in southern California.

This quote by Mary Jackson, writing in HR Magazine, sums it up: “Feedback is powerful. Anyone who takes the time to attend an interview is entitled to it.” This is why feedback is so important for your hiring process and reputation, overall. Imagine if your preferred candidate doesn’t accept the job offer. If you haven’t given helpful and constructive feedback to the other candidates who were a near miss (your second or third choice), you might lose the chance to employ them, too!

The interview process involved screening interviews with the hiring manager and HR partner prior to a panel interviews. The process was designed to determine fit for the position. The interview process includes behavioral questions. There were no technical questions.

There was a initial screening, where they are behavioral questions, talked about the position, and left you time to ask them some questions. Pretty basic interview, like any other initial screenings.

Phone conversation asking several questions about my skills and experience. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. 2 people interviewed me at the same time. The interview lasted about 20 minutes.

Really nice people, asked about my past work and walked me through what the role entailed. Really a competency and fit interview. There was a zoom interview with the legal team.

There was minimal interaction with no real room for negotiation. The interviewer had no interest in moving past the badinage information on the resume. The interview was short and curt, it felt like being in an assembly line.
