Manager Interview Questions

Can you please be more specific about group interview activities? I’ve interview this Tuesday

Interviewees first get to sit at tables in groups of three. You mingle with others and get asked to introduce the people you've just met to the entire room, then you move onto doing a fun group activity together (making Lego pieces). You only do 'interviewing' during the one-on-one with the recruiting person. After the group activity you get assigned a laptop and complete a speed typing test, questions that measure IQ and a scenario to demonstrate how you would respond to an email from a potential customer (given the information provided).

How many questions did they ask you?

I work in inventory and have for over 2 years. this review is a load of crap. i know we did not run ads or interview for this role in 2016. Calling you out you liar

We did not interview for nor advertise this job at this time. This review is not true

Sought to obtain company detail of vision and values, the response was COO s personal future expectations.

Yes , totally accurate , my experience was the same. COO kept referring to "Quals" as most important and constantly referring to her "Quals" which subsequently proved to be a figment of imagination. An overpromoted cleaner at a company takeover.

I got the job... but couldn't in hindsight say it was due to my interview skills , the COO was only interested in lording her "skills" achievements and qualifications.

Honestly. I provided examples and told stories about my career history.

How many questions are there

How interview questions are based on

The interview went very well and I was made to feel like I had the role, only to never hear from the company every again which I though was poor form on their part

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. This is great feedback. As we grow we definitely need to nail down job descriptions to attract relevant skills and experience. Being a startup we want everything and more beyond a job description (!) so it's hard to put that in words which is probably an unreasonable expectation to put on the candidates unknowingly. We'll focus on improving this aspect of our recruitment process in the future. And apologies for the lack of communication after the interview, again, something we need to work on.

I respect the fact you replied to this. I understand as new start up it's not easy but your it shouldn't be hard to match a JD. But true to your word I am sure you will improve. The interview was great and you have a very exciting product, building, organization & team, hope it's all going well James.

If I knew how dopey the Nurse Director and Queen B are that run the joint there is not a chance in hell I would ever consider working for Olympus, it is such a toxic environment and eventually it will all hit the fan when the Japanese realise what a mistake they have made having these people at the helm of the Titanic. come in Stryker

The answer is... No amount of money could make any want to work at Olympus. It's a vile toxic mess of a company and you wouldn't have to hunt for too long to find someone who is scarred for life from working there. With the number of medical device companies out there, there is no reason to ever consider working for this company. Disgraceful. The number of people they have paid out to keep quiet is criminal. Don't do it to yourself if you have any integrity, credibility or even 3 brain cells - you'll be smarter than the entire leadership team put together.

I agree with the above comments 100%, you wont have to look far to find someone who has worked there in the "toxic" culture/environment and not been affected by the Senior Management Team in place with the Puppet MD getting his strings etc. pulled by HR.

haha as best I could

Yes you are right. Numerical reasoning has nothing to do with the sales role. Time wasters !!
