      Senior Applications Developer Interview

      Mar 2, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chandler, AZ
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at General Motors (GM) (Chandler, AZ) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      The interview process took almost two months, and was nonsensical. The first part of the process was a call from an associate who "interviewed" me for the purpose of building a profile. The profile included my current salary, education information, background experience, career aspirations, and expectations of this position. The next step was a phone interview (two weeks later) by two other managers within the organization. This interview was also not technical and seemed to focus more on behavior and expectations. Finally (another two weeks), I was contacted and asked to fill out a background consent form. They gave me 48 hours to complete it. Another two weeks later, I was invited for a face-to-face technical interview (or so I was told). The interview actually took half a day. The first half of the interview was with a representative from HR who basically listed out how GM does not have "formal" personnel policies, but leaves all decisions to each individual's direct manager, without any form of explanation. The last half of the interview was divided in two parts. The first part was a behavioral interview with a manager from an unrelated department. The last part of the interview (less than an hour) was with the actual hiring manager and their team. Half of the interview was conversational and background oriented. The rest was lightly technical. After another week I was contacted and made an offer over the phone from the same associate who built my original profile two months earlier. The offer was for 20% less than I currently make with a reduction in benefits. I asked the representative why GM would waste my time and their time if they knew they could not compete with my current salary. He said that it was some sort of mistake and discussed how a 100 year old company has lots of issues. I told him I expected a small raise from my current salary or I was not interested. The same associate called the next day and said that GM was not willing to negotiate on the salary.
