I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at BabyVision (Poughkeepsie, NY) in Oct 2017
Interview
I entered the building and was greeted by a smiling and pleasant woman who asked who I was there to see. She then went off to find them and returned promptly informing me they would be right out. I was then taken to an office and began the first of two interviews by members of the Senior Leadership Team/Owners.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked several, very typical, interview questions initially as they "felt me out" and attempted to get to know me. Anyone who has interviewed for a senior management role knows the type of questions I am talking about. That was just the beginning though. As the interview progressed Amit, one of the owners, began to truly get to know me. His questions bounced back and forth from professional/previous role related inquiries to general questions and discussion geared toward becoming familiar with who I was as a person including home/family life, etc. Amit made me feel very comfortable and as the interview progressed it truly felt like a conversation between two people who had just met casually. I was very impressed by him taking the time to get to know me in that manner and he shared several "truths" about the current state of business as well as his vision on where he would like to take it. His openness and honesty was both refreshing and welcome. In my opinion he represented the shortcomings as well as the strengths they had operationally as well as business wide. He was genuine and trustworthy during this process and really made me feel like I would be a valued member of the team and I would be expected to share my thoughts and ideas should I join them and take a management role.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BabyVision (Poughkeepsie, NY) in Sep 2014
Interview
Unstructured and lacked valid questions. The interview had nothing to do with the job. They never tested qualifications. Never dis background check. They were unprepared and could not explain the job role and responsibilities
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BabyVision (Poughkeepsie, NY) in Feb 2012
Interview
There was a lack of professionalism, and inquiries into personal matters not related to the job at hand. I was uncomfortable and ready to walk out the door from the beginning of the process.
