      General Manager Interview

      25 Apr 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Cruz, CA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Glass Jar (Santa Cruz, CA) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      Before being offered an interview, I was asked to respond to 5-7 questions via email to assess my qualifications. Three rounds of interviews: [1] Interview w/ current Manager & HR Manager, [2] Practical interview (paid), [3] Interview w/ owners. Email communication between rounds. Pros: - Transparent & informative: I learned a lot about the business, vision & strategy, and company culture! - Casual & friendly: I dressed casually and felt comfortable joking and laughing with the team! - Hands-on practical interview: The team got a chance to interact with me, and I got a chance to interact with the team and the work, which helped to inform my decision. Cons: - Time Integrity: For my first interview, the HR Manager arrived late to the interview. For the third interview, one of the two owners arrived late. [*Both only by a few minutes.] - Disorganized: During the meeting to discuss the job offer, we reviewed the job description, not an official offer letter. The job description should have been formally reviewed earlier in the process.
