I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at DRS (Dynamic Recruitment Solutions) (New York, NY)
Interview
I will consider it to be a very detailed interview. But most of all they made me feel very comfortable and welcome and a part of the team on the first interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would make me be a great value to their company
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DRS (Dynamic Recruitment Solutions) (Danbury, CT) in Jan 2010
Interview
I drove up to this company and found it was an old mil/aero concern taken over by European company. I don't remember what it used to be called, but the building looked at least 60 years old. I met with the HR woman who pulled a bait/switch and offered an interview on a position I wasn't interested in. I would have left then but decided out of curiosity to see what the place was about.
I was led to a room and waited for my first interviewer, the director of engineering who was pleasant and visibly excited about my resume (since I was over-qualified for the position). This lasted roughly 45 minutes, this fellow was a lifer at this site and was there long before DRS bought them out.
The next interviewer was the personification of arrogance. He loved to play semantics and was ivy league schooled, his ego was the size of our solar system. I could see we weren't going to hit it off after I reminded him something needed to be "designed" before it was "engineered" (our genius thought only non-degreed people did design work, not engineers). As far as a technical interview, the questions were shallow and jumped around, lots of "gotcha" type garbage.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DRS (Dynamic Recruitment Solutions) (London, England) in Jul 2008
Interview
The interview process involved lengthy personal interviews with the two directors, a full discussion regarding my cv, professional and academic experience. Second interview revolved around my ability to research effectively and tested my interpersonal skills and knowledge of the market.
