Salas O'Brien interview questions

The interview was easy and the interviewers were very kind. It felt as if I already knew them, I have been through multiple and this was one of the easiest interviews I have had.

So many red flags…Interviewed with the commissioning lead and HR. They communicated their expectations was 12 hours per day, 6 days per week with no paid overtime under the explanation that it’s a good “learning opportunity” and you can expense meals haha. When questioned why overtime is not paid they responded they are not required to pay overtime by law….80% of the engineering firms I interviewed with either pay overtime or allow some sort of time in lieu policy. The role sounded quite exploitative to me, I’m sure they will find some candidates who are desperate enough to accept those horrific working conditions but it’s not a good look for the company expecting employees to work 72 hour weeks with no additional compensation. Normal standard work week is 37.5 hours so they’re essentially hiring one person to do the job of two people. Suffice to say I withdrew my application for the role.
