      IT Support Specialist Interview

      May 19, 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Penn State in Apr 2025

      Interview

      They lied about the salary range in the job posting. Salary range listed was between 42,000 and 61,000. I get an email wanting to setup the interview and they mention that the salary range is actually 42,000 and 46,000. I scheduled the interview any way to see if I could get maybe get some reason why if they would bring it up. I schedule the interview over Zoom and they had 3 people on the call which seemed a bit overkill being the 1st round. They mentioned they only had 30 minutes and couldn't go past that because of other interviews lined up so it was kind of rushed.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Penn State

      Interview

      Fairly straight forward. Submitted application through the portal. Received a call to set up an interview maybe two weeks later. It was just me and the interview committee. For the first part they read questions off of a sheet of paper. After that, they did ask some basic technical questions.
