Parker Hannifin Interview Questions

Interview process was quick and straightforward. Had a phone interview at the beginning of the week with the sales manager, had a 5 person panel interview 2 days after, received an offer the following day.

Wait in the front office, then go into interview room where a board of employees interview you asking various questions. Then they ask you if you have any questions for them before leaving.

It consisted of a short 30 min interview where they assessed whether you had a general understanding of engineering problem solving then an hour interview that was more in-depth. It included a PowerPoint presentation on a project or something you were proud of in your college career so far.

Eight, thirty minute interviews with each Operating Group. Dinner the night before at the company hotel. Travel expenses reimbursed. Overall, well organized and well run program. Each Group would ask different questions about those markets, and situational base questions.

The group interview was efficient. I felt like all of the relevant questions were asked. Everyone was very friendly and made me feel as comfortable as possible. They really made the company seem to be a great place to work.

Slow process. Interview is done by not professionally prepared or trained interviewers. Just some persons from the company who are somehow linked to the applied job. Overall picture was that they look for "friends", not actually skilled workers.

Before the interviews, there was a brief info session about what the company is about. Multiple consecutive zoom interviews with different department leaders. In total, there were 4 interviews with 3 people in each. Roughly 30 minutes was spend with each group of people.

1. Phone screen with direct supervisor. 2. Direct supervisor interview. 3. On site Panel interview of site peers. 4. Evening dinner with Division Business unit manager and Division HR manager.

Five rounds of interviews (in order): Hiring Manager, VP of Finance, Panel with EHS + Legal + Engineering, Insurance Broker, and CFO. Personality test after panel interview. I was asked for my target salary on my application, but their first offer was 30% less than my target and their second offer was 17% less than my target. I declined the offer.

Fairly laid back but it was in a panel interview so it was a bit intimidating. Overall, the interviewers were very nice and answered any questions that i had and were very responsive after the interview.
