Manufacturing Engineer Intern Interview

Jan 28, 2023

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SMC Corporation in Apr 2019

Interview

Simple two-call process. One was with HR - typical run-through-resume and personality interview. Next was with the department manager and was about the same. Felt more like feeling out work-ethic and personality over a technical interview.

Regional Sales Manager Interview

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Negative experience

Difficult interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at SMC Corporation (Indianapolis, IN) in Jan 2018

Interview

Repetitive and redundant questions, which turned out to be full of lies about almost everything, especially compensation. Based on WW1 ideas of selling called the Lancaster Theory, they destroy more opportunities with stupidity and greed by management than I've ever experienced. Then the efforts of hard working Sales Staff go to waste while also angering End Users. They lose market share as a result, not really shocking.

Question 1

Redundant and ridiculous questions that are lost in translation from Japanese.
