Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of experience in the field do you have and how comfortable are you with it?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Echelon Supply and Service (Liverpool, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
1) initial contact went well.
2) Coordinating interview was a mess. Canadian H.R. blaming Liverpool site for lack of response in getting back to her to confirm interview times.
3) Onsite interview went okay. Old guy runs the place, and has a big ego. Appears he put his daughter in charge (had all the appearances of such with comments and interactions between the 2 As he was affectionally trying to teach her how to run the business.
4) Old guy openly insulted the quality women now in charge repeatedly. Condescending towards her, and, "she has a lot to learn about quality' were repeatedly stated in a derogatory manor.
5) Quality Woman grimaced a lot at these comments, and said very little. Obvious tension between the Old Manager guy and her.
6) Current Quality woman seemed very weak-minded, and unable to defend herself.
6) Quality woman had the weakest hand-shake that a child could easily out do.
7) The new managing woman had a similar grip, but was very sweaty and gross hand shake.
8) They seem to have a lot of Quality issues from current staff, to management. Mostly stemming from personal interaction of the current management staff.
They need a lot Quality help here on multiple levels throughout the company, starting with Management.

Question 1
"What would you do if knew a part had a quality issue, and the Manager wanted to send it to the U.S. Military for them to use anyways?" It blew my mind that the old guy seems to have sent defective components to the U.S. military intentionally and has fought with Quality to NOT do this.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Echelon Supply and Service (Liverpool, NY) in July 2022
Interview
Someone from HR emailed me, did a brief phone screening, and then invited me on site to interview with the hiring manager. After a few weeks, I followed up with the HR rep about the position and she told me that the role had been filled, but the hiring manager wanted me to return for a second on-site interview for a different role. I got the impression that she had no intentions of notifying me that I was no longer being considered, but under the circumstances she had to give me an answer about the first position so that I would consider the second. I returned for the second interview for the "other" role. Same manager, same type of questions. He ended the interview both times by giving me his business card and encouraging me to message him after the fact with any questions. I never heard from this company again. No declination email. No explanation. A similar open position is posted now again, some six months later. The whole thing was a mess and a complete waste of my time.
