Zodiac Aerospace Interview Questions

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zodiac Aerospace (New York, NY) in January 2017.

Interview

The recruiter that interviewed me asked me the same question several times which told me she was not listening. She appeared to be not taking notes which is legally required. Horrible experience!

Interview

Interview jointly with manager and department head. Each took turns asking me about my previous position, and how I would approach the various problems and tasks they were experience. The questions were at times vague which made them more difficult to answer. I did have an opportunity to ask questions and I felt I received honest responses to them.

I sat with three senior engineers and they talked about my past experiences and asked questions regarding testing. The engineers I talked to seemed nice and friendly. I was given a tour of the testing area and it seemed like a nice environment to work at.

Application

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zodiac Aerospace.

Interview

The company has an unrealistic expectation for the level of experience >4 years and pay that they offer with no real fancy benefits either. I was informed that vacation is not allowed for a great deal of time (~8 months for a single day off for example), and they were quite inflexible in general by the seemingly offensive tone they took when I asked what the policies were as to vacation/flexibility/so forth which seems in line with other reviews regarding "blackout" dates. It was certainly a one sided interview where all questions I asked were met with hostility, or accusations.

The interviewer really seemed to struggle with the process of giving the interview. I saw no realistic opportunity for advancement at this company. Answers to any questions I had were relatively vague such as minimum time for advancement, pay raises, etc. I recommend looking elsewhere unless you want to be in a high turnover job. Anyone who can pass a drug test, and can count to 10 would be qualified to take this job in my opinion. No skill needed here. At least everyone seemed to speak good english.

Interview Questions

Reasons for Declining

I was offered pay around $13.50/hr when they asked for ~4 years experience, no decent benefits, horrible vacation policy, and the management really didn't understand the difference in my certifications I had nor my experience in equivalent form. (For this purpose you can use the example of "Can you drive a Mini Cooper?", to where you reply you can drive a Prius, or any Sedan and they would not accept that)

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zodiac Aerospace (Bellingham, WA) in January 2016.

Interview

I applied for the position as an internal employee of this company in a similar but lower role. Then I was selected among the applicants to go for an in person interview with the respective manager and supervisor. The two people interviewing took turns asking general interview questions among a list of interview questions that were printed off on a sheet of paper before them. The interview took about half an hour.

Interview

Talked to many different Manufacturing engineers who walked me through the plant and then did a few one on one interviews. Took about an hour to go through the entire plant and then talked to the Manufacturing Engineering Manager one on one. During the walk through of the plant, you get to see all the other manufacturing engineers and they introduce themselves to you.

Interview

Interview conducted by board of maintenance supervisors. Round robin type questioning covering various maintenance topics, experience, and "what if" scenarios. A brief written test and an oral exam based on a randomly chosen schematic.

Wouldn't discuss at interview. Basically stated if offer was made it would be decided at that time.
