    Finance Interview

    Anonymous Interview Candidate in Westport, CT
    No Offer
    Negative Experience
    Average Interview

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Terex (Westport, CT) in July 2009.

    Interview

    First the phone interview with Human Resources - then i went in to meet with the direct hire manager for 2 hours, then came back to meet with her supervisor and the Director of the entire financial group. My issue is not that I didn't get the job, it's that I invested so much time and never received any communication from them at all afterwards. No "thanks but no thanks" - just an email would have been nice. I find that unprofessional and very rude.

    Finance Interview

    Anonymous Interview Candidate in Redmond, WA

    Negative Experience
    Average Interview

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Terex (Redmond, WA) in December 2012.

    Interview

    Two phone interviews and two onsite interviews. I interviewed via phone initially with an internal contract recruiter acting as a gatekeeper. Second phone interview was with the hiring manager who did not ask any technical questions.

    I was invited in for an onsite interview where I expected to meet the hiring manager, did not happen. I met with two individuals from operations, one finance manager, and was given a plant tour. Overall, I was impressed.

    I was then invited back for a second onsite interview and met with the hiring manager (Director), a finance manager, and a VP, overall, not impressed.

    No difficult questions, just complaints about the lack of visibility into their manufacturing finance system.

    I felt that the opportunity would present a challenge and that I could add value with my experience and skill set so I played along and went through the process.

    Final outcome after spending hours interviewing; the internal contact recruiter contacted me and informed me that I would not be extended and offer for employment.

    No feedback or reasons given, which I felt was odd considering the level of the position that I interviewed for.

    Positive Experience
    Average Interview

    Application

    I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Terex.

    Interview

    The process began with a phone interview from their internal recruiter who was very friendly and professional. The next round of interviews were with the Controller and a series of meetings with other staff members. The last meeting was with the CFO. An offer was made shortly after the meeting with the CFO.

    Interview Questions

    • The interview questions were primarily related to the position, my background, my knowledge of the Company, career goals, and management/communication style. I believe they were looking for a good cultural fit in the organization.   Answer Question

    Reasons for Declining

    For the responsibilities, the pay was below market rate although the Company seemed flexible regarding telecommuting, working off-hours, and overall seemed like a nice environment.

    Interview

    I showed up the facility and was greeted by the receptionist. The Engineering manager escorted me to the conference room, where he proceeded to ask me questions on my resume. such as projects and programs I have learned while in college. He then opened up to any questions I had. after that he walked me through the shop where I was able to ask questions to show what I knew. Painless process.

    Human Resources Manager Interview

    Anonymous Interview Candidate in Oklahoma City, OK

    Negative Experience
    Average Interview

    Application

    I applied online. I interviewed at Terex (Oklahoma City, OK) in June 2017.

    Interview

    I submitted my resume for a HR Manager position in OKC. A month and a half later I contacted their local office to see if the position was still available, since I not only met, but exceeded their requirements. The local office personnel were extremely unfriendly and seemed to be unhappy. A recruiter finally contacted me and told me that I was one of the top 2 candidates and then kept me waiting for weeks to tell me that I wasn't selected. They missed out on someone who at first was extremely interested in joining the company, highly qualified (according to the recruiter) and had numerous letters of recommendation to support the quality of my work and work ethic. I feel their process was unprofessional and too lengthy. I will never apply with this company again and sorry to say... they missed out on a great employee that would've been a value asset.
