I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TGI Office Automation in May 2024
Interview
I was offered the role not long ago and declined for the following reasons:
- In my initial interview, I made it clear that to accept the role I would need the highest pay being offered and was told this was not a problem. When the offer was presented it was less than the highest pay and when I explained that I needed them to be flexible it took them over a day to get back to me. They replied noting "We were able to work something out" then offered the highest pay and I still declined.
- There was a lot of emphasis on the current person in the role. They wanted someone willing to walk around and chat with other coworkers to communicate information and noted this person does not do this currently. I was told in one interview they have only been there for 6 months while another person told me 1 year. From the way they made it sound, the people you would be speaking to would not be the most respectful, easy or open to change.
The overall vibe did not seem to be a very welcoming and supportive environment. I recently spoke with someone who used to work at TGI and they noted as well how toxic the environment is. Save yourself the time and apply anywhere else.

Question 1
A lot of questions about your personality, how open you are to chatting with others and not being afraid to get up and go speak to someone face to face.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at TGI Office Automation (Brooklyn, NY) in Aug 2016
Interview
They cold called me after finding my resume online and asked me to come in for an interview, but didn't say the name of the company or give me any contact information. I had a Skype interview first, and they contacted me 5 minutes after the interview was supposed to start. That went well and they asked me to come to their Brooklyn location to meet the CTO. He met with me for about 10 minutes and said he liked my work on GitHub.
The hiring manager then said they really liked me for the position and just needed approval on my offer letter from the CEO, and they called me to the NJ location where I was supposed to be working to meet with HR, with a strong implication of an offer letter, but did not give an offer. A month later they called me and asked me to come back to the Brooklyn office to meet the CFO. I assumed this was to discuss salary, but he made me wait over an hour past our appointment time and talked with me for 5 minutes then sent me on my way.
A month or so later, I got a call from the hiring manager saying they were still waiting for the CEO's approval. Another month later, HR sent me a low-ball offer by email, with very bad benefits, no sick time, and the requirement to commute to Brooklyn, instead of the NJ location they had been telling me all along. They said to call if I had any questions, but when I called to negotiate, they did not answer or call me back. I was unable to get through to HR or the hiring manager for weeks, so I stopped trying to contact them and took another job.
