      Mfg Engineer Interview

      Dec 8, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sidney, OH
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Goodwill (Sidney, OH) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      I did a phone interview that was very professional. I drove 150 miles one way for the 1st interview. It was professional except no mention or offer to pay for mileage. A week later a drove another 150 miles one way to interview with the new Engineering Manager. The Recruiter lobbied to get both trips (600 miles) in mileage covered. I was told I was a strong candidate. Two weeks later I was told the new Engineering Manager quit and Norcold was not hiring. Two weeks later I see their postings on the internet. It took me 4 more weeks to get Norcold to pay for any of the 600 miles I drove. They paid $0.276 per mile. I thought that was pretty low since I also took off two full days of contract work at $40/hour ($640). The whole process of not communicating and not hiring and not paying travel expenses was a red flag. I am glad things worked out as they did. I do not think I would have been happy at Norcold. I was impressed by the people but the management and functionality seemed disjointed and disconnected.
