      Senior Tech Writer Interview

      Sep 29, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hood River, OR
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Insitu (Hood River, OR) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      Interview was simple. They were concerned about my competency and ability to apply S1000D principles. A senior writer, by trade, has to be able to perform at an independent level and they were aware of this role. This opportunity was a solid opportunity that I ultimately had to pass on. The area the company resides in is not conducive to professional or personal development. The cost of living is higher than any place I have ever seen before. The compensation they were offering doesn't come close to offsetting the cost of living and high Oregon tax rates. In summary, if I took this job, I would lose almost 20% of my net income over the job I have in South Florida. Then, I'd have to pay an estimated $3,000/mo for the same size/quality house that I pay $1,100 for here in FL. I really was excited for this opportunity, but it would be career suicide if I took the job. I spent a week in the local area doing housing research and they'd have to almost go 60% higher on their offer to get me to consider moving my family here. Overall, the interview process was elementary at best. They asked a lot of basic questions about my general experience, nothing selective on my practical experience listed on my resume. They seemingly had a dire need to fill a position and were just trying to throw softball interview questions. At the end, I was asked a series of questions about the local area... if it was a nice place I might want to live, how I liked the office and the advertised culture.
