      Environmental Manager Interview

      14 Sept 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell

      Interview

      I applied to a posting online. There was a pre-interview meet and greet with one of the program directors. It was not that it went badly but seriously, who asks a person what their race is outright in the pre-interview? Well Burns and Mac does. Next I was offered a detailed interview that took all day. It was a series of conference calls and meetings with several of their directors. They were polite. The questions were not difficult but it was a bit exhausting to be interviewed all day long. They called back and lowballed a salary that was about 50% below the industry standard for the work they were asking me to do. Their salaries are very low. Employee ownership and stock options do not cover the losses that would be incurred. I thought it was a bit impersonal for a company that size that HR was the one that called back with the offer after I spent all day visiting with their crew. After I gave them the salary, HR called back to tell me I would not be a good fit for the position because of the salary requirement and when they did they also told me that they did not want to work with they "type of clients" that I could bring them. These were Native American clients that were extremely kind, professional and loyal and quite lucrative and difficult to sign with. I got a good dose of "Midwest Nice" in the interview, but was quite surprised to see that an engineering company of their caliber would be ao openly racist in an interview. Does everyone not know by now that this kind of thing is not only uncool but also illegal? When I looked at their website all of their managers were balding Caucasian men. Many companies actively seek to promote diversity in the workplace. This one seems to discourage it outright. Not the company for me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      "What race are you?" Big fail there.
