      Intern Interview

      19 Dec 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Spectrum Brands

      Interview

      Extremely unprofessional. Do not waste your time with them. Process took over 2 months. I applied via email and had one interview with HR followed by another phone interview with a manager in the department. From there, they they offered to fly me down to their offices and then rescinded that offer because flight costs exceeded their budget, which was odd from such a large company but I digress. Instead we scheduled 3 Skype interviews with various managers. However, I ended up having 4 Skype interviews with one happening to my surprise because they failed to send an interview invitation/confirmation. Despite that, interviews went well and I was told I was going to be given an internship offer. A couple days later they called to tell me they were about to send the offer email, explained the acceptance procedure, and asked if I had any questions. Like any college student would, I asked if there was any possibility I could receive some help securing housing (paying first months rent, security deposit, moving cost). At the very beginning of the interview process they said they don't give out housing bonus, but I felt that it couldn't hurt to ask because the internship was due to start in a mere 3 weeks and because they had planned to fly me out earlier and ultimately didn't. I didn't specify any amount, only asking if it was possible. They said they would look in to it. Later that same day, I get a call letting me know they are rescinding their offer because I had asked for help securing housing for an internship starting in 3 weeks, 5+ hours from where I currently live. I was shocked. I could understand rejecting my request for help securing housing, but to TAKE BACK AN OFFER? That's horribly unprofessional, especially because asking for housing assistance is such a common practice. It's more ridiculous and insulting when I remember that I was accommodating and understanding when Spectrum Brands, a huge company with thousands of employees and millions in revenue, canceled flights citing monetary reasons and were unorganized in their interview scheduling. Yet, Spectrum Brands couldn't be accommodating or even understanding towards a broke college student asking for help securing housing to be THEIR intern.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Spectrum Brands

      Interview

      There was a preliminary phone screening, and then I was called and asked for an in person interview. I went in for an onsite interview a couple weeks later (they were kind enough to base it around my school schedule), and spent time with the manager and a few individuals I would be working with on a regular basis.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The manager asked more questions around the work I would be doing while the rest of the team seemed to focus on adaptability and how well I got along with the team

      Applied online. Was not a difficult process. Interview consisted of meeting with four different managers, who asked very normal behavioral questions. Plus got a tour of the facility, and got to interact with some of the employees.
