I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Xenon Arc (Bellevue, WA)
Interview
Rigorous process with lack of communication, patience, and time. You get to job shadow with different people to to find a good fit among the different teams within their company. They themselves are not very clear in explaining the role they play in the industry, which lacks guidance and direction when asked to present new innovations for an industrial company. Employees are somewhat stressed with minimal social interaction unless a client walks in for a visit.
I applied online. I interviewed at Xenon Arc in Jun 2022
Interview
The process took too long with several interviews and with a business case presentation. I found it too difficult for the function requirements that they were searching for and with too many people involved.
I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Xenon Arc (Bellevue, WA) in Sep 2018
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me about this job.
The process took a hilariously long time for what is basically an entry level job. I didn't get a phone interview until nearly a month after the recruiter reached out. I assumed they had just moved on.
In person interview was probably 3 hours long. I interviewed with three people, two of them were friendly and decent interviewers but the third interviewer (the most senior employee I spoke with) literally told that he has never conducted an interview before.
Fairly standard interview questions but no communication amongst interviewers; all 3 asked basically the same questions. The in-person interview made it abundantly clear that this was primarily a sales position, something that felt misleading based on the job description and initial phone screening.
Told me they would followup with next steps about giving a presentation, but I never heard anything back even after following up. Not having the courtesy to inform a candidate of your decision after inviting them to your office and putting them through an unnecessarily long interview process was incredibly frustrating.
