      Research Scientist Interview

      8 Dec 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Euclid, OH
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Powdermet (Euclid, OH) in Oct 2011

      Interview

      I was first interviewed over the phone by the HR manager, who asked a number of behavioral questions. The next day I was interviewed over the phone by one of the project managers, and we discussed my experience, the type of projects they were working on and where I would best fit. I didn't hear back about an on-site interview for a couple of weeks, so I emailed the HR manager and she quickly replied to get the ball rolling on that. At the on-site interview I met with the general manager; we discussed where I would fit best and he asked a lot of behavioral questions. I then gave a presentation of my graduate work to the general manager and the engineers. After the presentation, the general manager left and I talked with the engineers, all of whom are in their twenties, for a while. I was asking them far more questions then they were asking me, and they were very forthcoming about what they liked and didn't like about working at Powdermet and living in the Cleveland area. After that was lunch, a facility tour and a brief meeting with the HR manager. They made an offer the next day.
