      Technical Writer Interview

      Oct 25, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Plano, TX
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at APCON (Plano, TX) in Jul 2018

      Interview

      Applied online and was contacted by a recruiter rather quickly. We discussed things like my background and my salary expectations and they deemed me a good candidate. Ran through a whole gauntlet of interviews via phone and Skype, then was invited to the Plano office for some face-to-face time. I did not get to meet the allegedly charming CEO. All went well, but it took a week for the recruiter to get back to me and ask how I felt about the interviews and the company. I was interested in proceeding and was told they were working on an offer for me, but suddenly my salary expectations were too high. I held firm to my expectations and was told he'd get back to me, but there was complete radio silence after that. I was asking for $3-4K above the range they were wanting. I understand companies need to stay within budgets, but I was told my salary level would be fine at the beginning of the process. If it never was, I would have appreciated it if they would not have wasted several hours of my time with multiple interviews.

      Technical Writer Interview

      Aug 11, 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Plano, TX
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at APCON (Plano, TX) in Aug 2020

      Interview

      The initial phone interview was wonderful: lots of questions about my background and what APCON did, and I felt really positive about a face-to-face interview. The technical and technical writer interviews also went well. Then an interview with management. Trust the negative Glassdoor reviews: this negging session wasn’t an interview. The “little writing test” sprung on me at the last second, consisting of documenting most of a brand-new app without compensation, was just an attempt to get work for free.

      Question 1

      “Your writing sample shows a basic product description and then specifications. Why did you waste time on the description?”
