      Sales Engineer Interview

      Jul 21, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Canton, OH
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Timken (Canton, OH) in May 2016

      Interview

      Very unprofessional. I applied for the job and in about 2 weeks I received an email to schedule a phone interview. The email was very unprofessional and from an intern, which didn't bother me at the time. I scheduled the interview and the job interviewer called me 15 minutes late. I found this a very negative start. TO follow this negativity, he was also an intern. He was very dry and not knowledgeable about the position at all. I asked questions at the end and he didn't know the answer to any of them. He stated he would email me answers in a few days, well guess what, I never got an email! He even mentioned the job title, which was wrong, he didn't even know what job I was interviewing for! To me this made me absolutely not want to work for the company. It made me feel unwanted and unimportant. 2 weeks later, I got a rejection letter from another intern that was the most unprofessional rejection email I have even been sent. It was one line that said, unfortunately you have not been selected. The company should really treat applicants like they matter.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Timken

      Interview

      In total 4 job interview, from technical department to HR. Technical test seemed very hard but at the end they just wanted to check you basic mechanical eng. knowledge. You need to be able to read technical drawings and explaing the power flow in a gear box. Basic knowledge about bearings will also help. In general very hard but fair interview.

      Question 1

      Explain me what kind of gear drive you see in front of you and please show me the power flow.
