      Buyer Interview

      18 Apr 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Diego, CA
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at General Atomics (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Simple phone interview first. Very classic. Next was supposed to be an in person panel interview with 3 purchasing managers but they had to reschedule last minute and once I got the new confirmation, only 1 of the 3 people were going to interview me so I asked them to reschedule when everyone was available and I was told “oh everyone will be there” and it was a video interview instead. Okay no problem except when I joined the interview on Teams, only 2 people ever showed up. 3rd person was nowhere to be found and I never got an explanation. Also I was the only one who had my camera on which was odd since this video interview was a replacement for an in person interview. I would have liked to talk to a face instead of a screen. Not to mention one guy was coming back from a dentist appointment and he clearly wasn’t listening to me very well. He “clarified” that the correct answer to a question he asked was to “talk to your manager”. That was one of the first things I said. Also why are we asking that question? We’re all professionals, of course I’ll be talking with my manager. Then they called be back and offered me 10k lower than my min salary requirement because they felt I wasn’t worth the amount I asked for. Hard pass. Didn’t even counter offer.

      I interviewed at General Atomics

      Interview

      Panel Interview with behavioral questions. Met with the recruiter afterwards to go over benefits. Overall easy interview just brushed on experience. The interview with the hiring managers was more open ended and not so structured.
