I was originally contacted by a recruiter from GM and then I was contacted to set up an interview. The first red flag I got was that they were unmovable on setting the time of the interview and basically gave me a day and time to show up, and that was it. Once the interview was set up, I wasn't provided with any more information, and so I was quite surprised to find out that I was going to be doing back-to-back, multi-person interviews. The interviews themselves were fine, mostly the Situation-Action-Response types, which I found myself struggling with, but that's my issue, not the company's. The main issue I found with the interviews, though, was that they took a really long time, and I wasn't ever given a break to, say, get a drink of water, which after 3.5 hours of interviewing, I was ready for. I was in contact with my original recruiter a few times after the interview to discuss how I thought the interview went and discuss how soon I might hear any feedback. As the interview occurred right before Christmas break, I knew that it could be a few weeks before a decision was to be made. Eventually, the recruiter quit responding to my emails, and now it's almost March, and I still have yet to have any communication from the company. I just found the whole process really unfriendly, and it really makes me question having any interest in ever working for GM Powertrain.
The interview questions were all situation, action, response types.
