I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Wilen Group (Hauppauge, NY) in Dec 2023
Interview
The first interview was more informative than anything. They asked you about your background and experience, and they explained to you what they do, and the responsibilities of the role, an easy interview; but the second Interview was a test, which in my opinion is difficult because it focused on someone already familiar with their system, procedures, and the information they give you for this test is vague, and limited.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The second interview is a test where they supply a sample template and they want you to move and edit some artwork, and "clean up the artwork"; the instructions are vague and limited.
You will go through a few rounds. First with the Hiring Manager and then with the CEO. Process is not too overbearing. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The questions aren't hard.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wilen Group (Las Vegas, NV) in Aug 2023
Interview
I received a notice asking me to apply. I filled out the info then I received a phone call from someone with a heavy accent asking me questions, it seemed somewhat normal at first. Then I received a paper application, like something I filled out in the 90s they wanted me to download it, handwrite my info in scan it back in and re-upload it. I've had a professional career for 23 years writing my job experience in a tiny box wasn't going to fit, I have a 3-page resume that explains my work experience in detail. When I asked why I need to fill out a application that won't even fit my work experience in it the woman insulted me and laughed at me she said "You haven't worked for a corporation before" I said "That is completely untrue, did you not look at my resume I have worked for some of the largest corporations in the country and they have online apps if they require it at all" She laughed at me again and said "You need to do this or else we can't hire you" I felt like the whole thing was a scam it felt really unprofessional especially when she was accusing me and laughing at me when I asked for questions to be asked. The company does look real online, I am not sure if they really are or not, it's possible something fake is posing as the company which is something I experienced before as well but it made me really uncomfortable and I said I wasn't interested in the end.

I apologize for the experience you had applying for a position at Wilen. I am at a loss as to who would act unprofessionally and, perhaps, you were diverted to a spam site? Our recruiting staff is always polite and professional and would never laugh at a potential hire. If you are interested in reapplying, please forward your resume to me and I will forward to the proper person. Thank you. lmarin@wilengroup.com
