I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Chambers Group (Middletown, CT) in June 2018
Interview
I received a call for an interview for this position and was pretty excited. The office is in Middletown, which is about 30-40 minutes from me without rush hour traffic, but they said the starting salary would be approximately $60,000/year.
When I got there I was SO disappointed. It was a sham. The place was packed with people and everyone was given some paperwork to fill out-none of which asked about work history, experience, etc. Some guy gave a poorly put together speech and they said that they would be calling people back based on our answers. They didn't even have the decency to let anyone know that this would not be a one on one interview. They claimed to be increasing sales at some unbelievable rate, but they were a disorganized, unprofessional mess.
Had I been informed that this was going to be a lecture, I wouldn't have wasted my time driving all the way there. It was a total waste of my time .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions came from the potential candidates following the guy's little speech. They contact you as soon as you apply and act like they think you're great and they have to get you in to interview right away and then you get there the same time as dozens of other people. They probably don't bother to look at your resume beyond your name and phone number.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Chambers Group (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Brief, met with several technical team memebers. Second discussion was with HR department. Spoke with HR Director about benefits that company offered. She was very through and went throught the benfits and ESOP information.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chambers Group (Santa Ana, CA)
Interview
Promptly responded to resume submission with phone interview by immediate manager, then met with manager and Human Resources Director. Asked frank but fair questions about past experience. "Tested" me by having me put a proposal together and on my proofreading skills. Prompt follow-up after interview. Received job offer almost immediately.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was repeatedly asked a question that hinged on my basic skills, which I thought strange, but I was well-prepared with work samples, professional references, etc. My response was multi-layered but truthful, which allayed their concerns. (My inward response was: "Of course I know how to do that!") I later learned someone had incorrectly but not maliciously reported something to the HR Director. I was pleased that they did not immediately write me off and that they asked about it.
