      Continuous Improvement Engineer Interview

      4 Apr 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Robards, KY
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rio Tinto (Robards, KY) in Feb 2012

      Interview

      First interview is on-site. With mid level managers. Typical behavior based questions. Easy interview. Second interview is on-site with members of plant leadership team. They asked stupid questions in terms of "what if". They looked for problem solving capabilities but I think got stuck on too many details on there end. HR manager was asked what she liked about the company and said benefits - if that is one of the only things you can mention and you can not mention the people as the HR manager, you got problems. Seemed to me the plant manager ruled by fear and read into this as a guy who was the maintenance manager did not have any formal education - came from the floor. Plant manager also mentioned the culture was to micro manage the complainers and treat the top performers well. Seems like you got a lot of complainers that need to be let go, but you are too afraid to do that. I didn't think it was good fit for my personal work style.
