      Sr. Draftsman Interview

      30 Jan 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fieldstone A&E (Austin, TX) in Jan 2023

      Interview

      (My background, 13 years of architectural drafting experience, including many years of production home design similar to fieldstones work ) The interview process took weeks, and I was never told what the pay for the position was. The interview process is: - Video meeting (30 mins) - Cad test (4 hours) - Video meeting (1 hour) - Personality/IQ test (1 hour) - Final video meeting (1 hour) After my initial application, I had a video call, and asked a few general questions about the position. I asked what the pay scale is, and was told they couldn't tell me until after I take their 4-hour-long CAD test. I told them what pay I was looking for, ( which is actually less than I make now, but would take a pay cut for a remote position ) and their reaction was almost disgust, and reading other reviews about low pay, I knew it wouldn't be decent. I ended up moving on in the interview process, which was a 4-hour long CAD skills test, which has to be done on their time. ( so if you're currently working, you'll have to take a day off to do the test ) The cad test was fine, though it do note everything is intentionally drawn wrong, they mostly want to see how you react to it than anything else. If that was a reflection of their cad standards, then boy it was an incoherent mess. After doing the cad test and still not being told of a pay scale despite what I was previously told, I kinda wrote off the idea of working for them. If they can't be transparent about the job they are hiring for, I can only imagine how difficult working for them could be. I was selected for another video meeting after the cad test, and the person on the other end seemed annoyed to be talking with me. Essentially all he did was go through my resume to criticize it, and not really talk much about the position or the company, and it was very difficult to have a conversation with him as he would constantly cut me off and not allow me to speak. After that interview, I had already made my choice to not go any further with the interview process, as there were too many red flags for me, I've spent too many hours, and still had no idea what the pay would be. I've been open, accommodating, and honest with them, and didn't get anything in return. ------ Ultimately, I spent about 6 hours of my time between taking a vacation day off work for the CAD test, the two meetings, emails, etc. To not even be told what the pay for the position is. My advice to management would be to be upfront with your pay, and to not waste your own time and an applicant's time by not answering the most important question of any job until they jump through hours of hoops.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      they really didn't have many interview questions outside of just going over your previous experience. They seem to mostly rely on the cad skills test, and the weird personality test.
