Field Marketing Professional at Reynolds and Reynolds

No Offer – Interviewed in May 2013 – Reviewed May 20, 2013 New

Interview Details Applied online to a posting listed on a website. Heard back quickly, received an email asking if I smoke and if I'm eligible to work in the US. Passed that, was invited to formally apply the next day. I spent 4 hours reviewing the practice questions, creating an online application, and taking the tests. I was completely spent when I finished. I graduated from college 14 years ago and am not used to taking tests any more. I'm concerned about how the test measured my ability to do the job. A week after completing learned that I was not being considered. Really not sure why.

Interview Question – A material that can be magnetized: stainless steel, copper, any steel, iron. More than one would be correct, but I could only select one.   Answer Question

New Product Implementation at Reynolds and Reynolds

Declined Offer – Reviewed May 20, 2013 New

Interview Details There are several phone interviews, an online assessment, a skype interview (two skype interviews for me), and a proctored assessment. The employees that conduct the phone interviews are generally very friendly and professional. The supervisors that will want skype interviews are less friendly, but professional. Their questions overall are simple: why are you good for this position, what are your skills and experience, what do you expect in a workplace, etc.

Interview Question – The most difficult portion of the interview is the assessment. It is timed so that you will not be able to finish it. Once you accept this, it is a lot less stressful.   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – I felt that Reynolds & Reynolds was too "cold and corporate" for me.

Solutions Specialist at Reynolds and Reynolds

Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 09, 2013

Interview Details Process begins with several online tests including a personality test, a sequencing test, and math test. After completing these, you will be asked to complete a Skype interview with one of R&R's recruiters. A pleasant, laid back interview. However, there is an immediate emphasis on money and your salaries at all prior jobs. Strict no tobacco policy. After first Skype interview, you complete a workplace attitudes survey and a longer application. A second Skype interview will follow. Appears that there will be several more interviews after this, a least one being on-site.

Interview Question – Where do you see yourself 5 years from this moment?   Answer Question

Peripheral Tech Support at Reynolds and Reynolds

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on College Station, TX (US) Apr 2011 – Reviewed May 07, 2013

Interview Details The process starts with an inquiry at the company’s website and choosing your location. After a few days if they like what they see in your resume and have matched you to a few departments they will call and asked you a few questions and ask you to either come in for a few tests or depending on your distance will email you the links to take the tests. Depending on how you do on these tests, there will come another round of tests and eventually a phone interview and then a location interview. To make sure you are honest with the tests, you might have to retake a test or two. You will then have a sit down with the manager of the department you have chosen and they will interview to see if you are a good fit for their department. I myself had two different managers I sat down with and interviewed. After the interview, you will receive a call in a few days with an offer. You can accept or counter the offer. Depending on the offer, you now have a job.

Interview Question – The question I was ask that could have went any direction dealt with a disgruntle customer.   Answer Question

Project Specialist at Reynolds and Reynolds

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Houston, TX (US) – Reviewed Apr 30, 2013

Interview Details Have to take a test online from home first. If you do well enough, they invite you into the office for another round of testing. Again if you do well enough, they invite you in for interviews. They will discuss different positions available to you based on your test results. The tests are mainly personality type questions, but there are questions to gauge your problem solving skills, ability to discern patterns, and consistency of responses.

This company will NOT negotiate your salary. If they make you an offer, consider it a final offer. Those who reject and ask for more are dropped from consideration.

Application Developer at Reynolds and Reynolds

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Dayton, OH (US) Mar 2013 – Reviewed Apr 22, 2013

Interview Details Before even being able to speak to a person, I was sent a link to take a very detailed and thorough series of online assessments. It's pretty much just like what everyone else on here has described (personality, IQ, current events, etc.). The next day, I got a call back to interview and had a series of interviews with the same HR person. I had to go and do another assessment online, this one an ethics assessment. I also had to fill out a long-form application which is also exactly as described by people on here. I thought some of the questions were weird at the time and these are the ones that some people are describing as illegal questions (information on parents, spouse, in-laws, and all their occupations and educational backgrounds). It seems like they probably are, in hindsight.

I was supposed to have a Skype interview with the head of the department, but we were both experiencing technical issues, so it ended up being another phone interview. It went really well until the end when he saw my asking salary and indicated it was a little high and that they don't like taking risks, which makes no sense because, assuming an offer, they are asking you to take a risk by leaving your current position for one with their company.

Anyway, they flew me to Dayton, OH and I spent the day there. I had to retake the IQ and personality assessments to make it "fair", in their words. Then, I was taken on a tour and taken to lunch with 2 more HR people who were completely uninvolved with my recruitment. It was also kind of weird that the lunch was in their building cafeteria as I was expecting them to do more to impress me than that. Then, I had a short interview with the Vice President of the department and that went well. The last thing they had me do was to take a drug test.

They ended up offering me $500 less than what I make at my current position and no vacation days in my first year at the company. I was planing on taking it because I was very desperate to relocate back to Ohio (which is where I am from), but ended up finding something else that actually offers a competitive salary and benefits. I had some major reservations, especially after reading some of the reviews on here!

Interview Question – Surprisingly, they asked no questions about programming or any of my development knowledge/experience. Nothing was too difficult. They are very high on raw, natural abilities as exemplified by all the assessments they make you take.   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – It was $500 less a year than I was making at the time, benefits weren't too great (no vacation days in the first year), and a lot of the current/former employee reviews on here gave me some reservation. Ultimately, I accepted a competing offer, which was much, much better than this one.

Software Education Trainee at Reynolds and Reynolds

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Houston, TX (US) – Reviewed Apr 23, 2013

Interview Details I submitted a resume at a career fair and a few weeks later, they contacted me to fill out the online application. I did, and shortly thereafter, I was scheduled for my initial interview with a representative in the Human Resources department. He asked the usual round of questions. (I say "usual." ...I've had friends at school that haven't been able to get past these "usual" questions, so do brush up on your responses.) I was contacted a few days later for an interview with what would be my immediate supervisor. He was most pleasant and friendly, and completely took the stress out of the interview. Before I left the recruiting office that day, I was scheduled for my next 2 interviews. I won't say the last one was a piece of cake, but it wasn't too terrible in retrospect. A drug test and a background check later, and the recruiter was calling me with an offer.

Interview Question – I was not expecting or prepared to answer questions about my childhood. (What were you best known for as a child?) They explained some pretty strict workplace policies: surveillance cameras, entering door codes to go anywhere, basically how they track employees around the building for "security" purposes. Other than that, the math assessment was fairly challenging, but for the most part, none of my 4 interviews were out of the ordinary for a corporate position.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – There was no real negotiation. They were able to match my salary requirements.
