      Technical Director Interview

      26 Jun 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cedar Rapids, IA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Crystal Group (Cedar Rapids, IA)

      Interview

      The company needs some good technical directors so they asked if I would be interested in a technical director position. I applied and then they brought me in for an interview. The interview process is that of a small 5 employee company that really has no process at all at interviewing people. I interviewed with all of the VP's and got sign off that they should hire me but then I met with the tech directors (who would be my peers) and they did not want me, not because of me not being able to do the job but because they where intimidated by me because I knew more than they did about the job and it might look bad on them. It was either that or because I know that one of the current tech directors lost his job at his previous company because he got caught sleeping with another employee when he was the manager and he doesn't want the company to find this out. I'm sure he didn't tell the company this when he applied. So somehow the tech directors convinced the VP not to hire me. This does not look good for the manager over the tech directors. I found out that he does anything that the tech directors say. The only way to get a job there is to become friends with one of the tech directors and then it doesn't mater how little you know, you will get a job there.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What kind of alcohol do I drink (This is true, I was really asked this)?
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      What is my policy preference? We work with oil companies and you need to be all about oil companies. (I later found out that the guy who asked me this was against oil companies and also against the company I use to work for).
