First contact was made via text message, progressed alright but I soon realized it was an AI interview with a chatbot. Very odd and unnatural experience. Seemed very hung up on asking about specific keywords.
Thank you for your feedback. Howmet Aerospace does not conduct any portion of our selection process through an AI chatbot. We are concerned this may be a recruitment fraud attempt aimed at collecting personal information.
We would appreciate any additional information you can provide about your experience. Please contact us at TalentAcquisitionCoE_Howmet@howmet.com.
Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Howmet Aerospace
Interview
This was one of the worst interviews of my life for so many reasons. HR didnt bother to meet with me which meant that I had two separate one on one interviews in a closed door room completely by myself; it was a blatant disregard for my safety. I had multiple rounds of interviews where they asked me the same questions round to round and made me feel disrespected on numerous occasions. Most of the interviews were them just quizing me on what the words meant on my resume because they clearly thought I had lied about my skill set. They would ask me the same question multiple times as if to catch me in a lie and would downplay my knowledge on various subjects. Mind you, I have not been actively looking for a job, they reached out to me to see if I was willing to learn more about what they could offer me; dispite this fact they treated me like this interview was a favor to me. Then after interrogating me they offered me an extreme low-ball offer and stated in the offer that the experience they could provide me is more important than compensation.
