      Quality Interview

      I interviewed at STAAR Surgical

      Interview

      Well, to begin, I was called in for an in-person interview at STAAR for the role of Quality Intern after like a brief conversation with the HR over the phone. I travelled really far to interview with them and to my surprise, I was barely asked anything at the interview. My interview lasted no more than 5 mins, wherein I was not asked a single question related to my background or experience. They asked how soon I could start and everything but not a single job-related question. After 5 mins they said they would get back with me. Later that day, after sending a thank you email, I receive an email saying they selected someone 2 weeks back so will not move forward with me. It was a sheer waste of money and time for me. They should have informed me way back if they already selected instead of wasting candidate's time.

      We are sorry for this misunderstanding. It is our philosophy to treat all our candidates fairly. A total of 4 out of our 12 recently hired interns came from the same graduate program from your school and we are fairly familiar with the curriculum. The interview is also an opportunity for the intern candidate to see our facility, meet the hiring manager and ask questions to ensure that the opportunity is the right fit for them as well, especially in your case since you disclosed prior to the site interview that you already had another job offer. Unfortunately, after your interview, we couldn't obtain approval for the 13th internship slot which we had in mind for you and as mentioned in the email to you, the last approved internship slot was offered within the same week of your interview (and not 2 weeks prior as you had mentioned). Again we apologize for the misunderstanding. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at STAAR Surgical (Monrovia, CA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      Short and sweet and to the point. Not much to it was basic especially being a job for FDA regulated facility. Questions were more about team skills then for quality.
