      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Harbor Freight Tools (Calabasas, CA) in Jan 2011

      Interview

      A schedule was given with the interviewers and time slots. Each was scheduled to take up to one hour. The workplace is very casual. The first interviewer was late and rushed. Appeared as it was a nuisance to have to do the interview. It ended sooner than the alloted time. You are ushered to a lobby and placed in contact with the secretary. When the next interviewer is ready, the secretary comes out and escorts you to the next office. The questions are normal interview questions. Tell me about yourself. Why here? Past history. There is a definite attitude permeating the building. Once you finish with one interviewer, they go to the next one on the list and discuss what happened in the previous. Before the day ends, a decision has been made before you even get to the last interviewer. If they don't like you, the day ends early and you don't finish the schedule. The company appears to be in turmoil. Nervous Neds and Nellies all over the place. Eyes darting during the interview. Watching who passes by. Not really interested in you, more in them and surrounding events. It was the most unprofessional interview I had in any company. Midway through the interview process I realized this was not for me.

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself. Tell me about what you did in previous positions. Why here? The typical questions.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Harbor Freight Tools (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      Brutal. An all-day event that took just under a full 8 hours. Interviewed with 10 different people. Their strategy is to put you through an entire day mental gymnastics to see how you are holding up at 4:00pm. More mind games than genuine interviewing.

      Accepted offer

      Application

      I interviewed at Harbor Freight Tools

      Interview

      Nothing too difficult. Probably the easiest interview I've ever had, I wasn't even asked any questions regarding my experience with tools which was good because I had none at the time.
