      Executive Assistant Interview

      Mar 21, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Washington, DC
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BWX Technologies (Washington, DC) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      The two managers who the government affairs team did not have any questions for me even though I had contracted for them a few months before. They didn't know how to articulate my role, the company's objectives and well, did not know how to sell the company in any way shape or form. I ended up the one to ask them questions about how HR functions, my role and the overall success of my Executive Assistant job. I have seen the interview question the company has drafted for the employees and the question are antique in addition to generic. There is nothing innovative about the interview questions and process. I was not impressed whatsoever. Nobody seemed to be prepared for me to come onboard. The company seems to be pretty good at filling positions where they just rush in every process without taking time to think. They start paperwork internally while HR hasn't done their due diligence. So you end up having to start a job while there are still plenty of steps that are not taken prior to you starting work. The onboarding process can be a bit antiquated and barbaric. In my opinion , there is no discipline in this company. Everyone is able to do whatever they wish with the company with no idea of how to represent the company. My experience with dealing with HR after made the offer was the worst experience. HR is essentially an HR Generalist who has no communication skills. There is no onboarding, so I essentially had to onboard myself. I am the one who eventually made my manager realize that I needed some time of induction with the company. My process of becoming an employee was a dizzy one. It was also the most disorganized. The company does not have enough training for the managers to remotely know how to sell the company and retain good employees.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The managers who interviewed me did not have one company question to ask me. They were in a rush to have somebody.
