HR VP asked about my what my relevant experiences were from my prior positions and why I wanted this position. She also asked what my desired salary was. VP of Program Accounts more or less told me about the needs of the position and asked how I thought I would be able to meet those needs. More casual interview than that with HR.

3 Answers

The typical answers you would give at an interview. I wrote the review because I noticed that Marc must have been leaving great reviews here for his company. The last few 5 star reviews came from within the company. There was about two long term employees who worked there and almost everyone else was VERY new. I can't see anyone leaving 5 star reviews for this company. It was hostile and very uncomfortable. Less

Again, this is the same person who got let go. Her boyfriend who never worked at Falcon Dynamics, Inc. however he is upset of the fact his girlfriend lost her job because of many warning she got regarding her performance. Now he is going Glassdoor posting these negative information. You can tell that he is not familiar with Falcon Dynamics, inc when he mentioned that we are located in Lake Forest, however we are located in Irvine. The bad Karma is already following these people and we heard that they are sitting home miserable. We are a great company and have a great team and these hateful individual is not going to affect our reputation. Less
