Good benefits, decent pay, good flexibility.
Nobody seems to have much fun doing their job or find their job very satisfying. Most fixate on pay, promotions, when they can retire, and donuts and other free food. The tools and processes tend to be old and outdated, especially in the commercial division. The whole place has an old-school, traditional, and aging industrial company vibe to it.
I'm having infinitely more fun since I left for a more progressive company in medical devices with modern tools and people with open-minded attitudes.
Move on from the old 'command and control' paradigm.
Ask people what would make their job more enjoyable and what would motivate them to be their best.
Be open to weird ideas and misfits that aren't 'yes' people.
If people's work is like play, they will do great work.
Phone interview. A couple of hiring managers on the other end. Complete silence as you answer questions. Give as detailed answers as you can without saying too much, and talk slowly. You have time.
The interview was very easy and the interviewees were very nice. The interview lasted about 30 minutes, and I was given the chance to ask questions at the end.
The recruiter sent me an email to set up a HireVue interview. I did not have any contact with a human representative. HireVue gave 5 questions and a couple of practice questions, followed by a quick quiz-like skills test.
