MPI CORE VALUES
All of us at MPI are guided by the following Core Values that form the basis of our working relationships with our Participants, our providers, our participating employers, our participating unions and one another.

We are a group of highly diverse human beings. We celebrate our differences, treat every individual with dignity, and seek out the unique gifts and contributions that each individual can bring to us.

We believe that by working together and living our values, all things are possible, and our belief in these limitless possibilities is a source of great energy for the pursuit of our mission.

Pros
My time with MPI was wonderful. The people, the projects, and the sense of community were all a huge plus when coming aboard. The company has gone through a lot of change and I truly feel that positive change, and the people committed to making it, has put MPI on the right track. The care, detail, and attention given from the CEO, CHRO, and CIO to both the process and the people really exemplified to me their commitment to making it work. The directors and managers always made themselves available and engaged with employees, concerns, and the MPI community. The current team is a winning combination.
Cons
The only possible cons would be the growing pains that come with change. Adoption of new policies and procedures takes time, more so in the case of employees who have been there for many years and are comfortable in their routines. Also, depending on when you start you have to earn a certain number of hours in the qualifying period to become eligible for health benefits. It may take a little longer than what most employees are used to, but when you receive them you'll have an excellent package.
Advice to Management
Please keep the employing training sessions active for MPI staff to participate in together. It really builds a strong sense of unity and understanding among employees and departments that may not normally interact on a regular basis. The True Colors session was brilliant as well as the MAGIC training which gave great insight to the daily activities and challenges different departments deal with and universally give greater appreciation for everyones contributions to MPI. In addition, please support the IT department and make sure necessary budgets are allocated to the development and initiatives put forward to continue to improve the systems. A healthy infrastructure is the core to successful and efficient business. This critical component affects everyones job and is essential to all work activity. Keep doing what you're doing, it's great positive change!

Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Motion Picture Industry Pension & Health Plans.
Interview
You'd think by the third interview, that's a great sign right? Well, no it's not. Everything went well until the 3rd interview came around, when one of the department managers, first of all, came in late to the interview (about 20 minutes late), right off the bat came in with an attitude and kept the same arrogant attitude throughout the whole interview, asked a few tricky, confusing, nonsense questions to make you answer in a very complicated way that really shouldn't be the case in a normal interview. It was more of an interrogation rather than a professional interview. Also, if you want to go up in life, they make it seem like it makes you look "too ambitious" so basically they want to swear you into staying in their company and same position forever. No talk about opportunities or growth within the company. When you ask them about the subject, they make u feel like you're trying to take something away from them and they pretty much said there's not much room for it. Disappointing experience and takes too much of your valuable time. The listing for this position has been up for 30+ days and I can see why because who knows what they're expecting from someone. Perhaps Superman or an older person who has nothing else to do anymore in their life. Only positive thing I can say is, it's a nice building and good benefits offered. Work on your hiring process and re-evaluate the people you place as supervisors in your departments.
Interview Questions
- Work experience, what you did at your last job, your future plans and if they suit the position you're applying for, and ask them a bunch of questions, you'll end up being the interviewer instead of the interviewee. Answer Question
