Interview
Applied online late July, received phone call mid August about an interview. Had to play phone tag multiple times to get interview scheduled. First met with a higher up uninvolved in the position. He did not ask any relevant questions and just wanted to have a light-hearted conversation (for over an hour!), which mostly comprised him bragging about going to Europe and his children being in bi-lingual schools. Second interview, the next week, was with actual manager. Basic interview questions and she warned about POA being a "boy's club" but that is an understatement. Had to take a ridiculous "personality test" that makes you write paragraph-long answers to typical interview Qs - "when have you recently demonstrated your leadership qualities." It took about two hours and was held in an extremely cold conference room. The next week, went in for an hour to fill out paperwork (unpaid) - manager went over every answer of the personality test with me. The next week after that (fourth week of process) was my start date.

Question 1
Typical interview questions, redundant with personality test that asks them all again.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Office Automation (Beaverton, OR) in Aug 2024
Interview
1 Phone interview and 2 in person. Easy interview, they ask a lot of behavioral questions. Will also be asked to take a long behavioral test too at the first in person interview. Basically said I got the offer at the final interview but my preplanned trip was too long so I got rejected in the end.
