      Manager Interview

      6 Jul 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Graniteville, SC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bridgestone Americas (Graniteville, SC) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      Applied online, received a call an hour later to set up a phone interview with the hiring manager. HR woman on the phone asked about availability Friday. I asked if 3 PM would work. She said I will schedule you for 3 PM Thursday. Thursday? I repeated it back to her because we had been talking about Friday. Thursday I wait around for the call. No one calls. Must have meant Friday afterall. Friday, same thing. Then at 4 PM I get a call from HR woman saying he was in a surprise audit and would call me around 5 PM. Hiring manager calls at 5 PM and says that he didn't know she had even scheduled an interview for him. Phone interview goes well and I get an email saying that they would like to fly me there for an in-person interview. HR woman sets everything up. I fly in and go to pickup the rental car. Rental car guy asks me how I'm paying and I say that I'm there for a job interview and the company is paying for the car. He asks "is it with Bridgestone?" I say yes, and he says "yeah happens all the time, they don't keep a card on file with us so we need a method of payment." Ok, she did give me an expense form at least. Next day I arrive at the plant and go to the front lobby area as instructed. No receptionist there. HR woman stares at me from the hall and ignores me. I call hiring manager who comes to let me in. I group interview with 4 people, mostly hackneyed STAR questions. I hadn't interviewed for years and didn't have highly rehersed, fake responses to all the contrived HR 101 questions, so it went just ok I thought. A few weeks later I get a generic copy pasta "we're moving on with candidates" email. No problem, I wasn't interested at this point and had two interviews for better jobs in more preferable locations lined up. I very politely thanked them via email and asked if they could provide any feedback - no response. I submitted the expense report for the rental car - no response. Noticing a pattern yet? Major lack of professionalism.
