      Several Open Network Engineering Positions Interview

      1 Dec 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Raleigh, NC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MetLife (Raleigh, NC) in Jun 2014

      Interview

      I applied online on Metlife's website and the process was straight forward and not too difficult. A couple of days later I was contacted for a phone interview with one of the recruiters which was also equally straight forward and was a basic phone screen. Several more days went by and an interview invitation at the Raleigh office was setup with the hiring manager, the AVP of Network Engineering. On the date of the interview I arrived early, but after the security officer at the desk contacted the manager and it took the manager nearly 30 minutes to come down; the interview start nearly 20 minutes late. Throughout the entire interview, the hiring manager was actively disengaged, checking and replying to emails on his phone repeatedly while asking and then when I was answer questions. He even interrupted me mid-answer so that he could take a call. None of the questions were really in-depth or good enough to get a handle on the skills or abilities of the person in an interview. I was also informed that they had selected just over a hundred folks to interview for the fifty to sixty positions they had open. Several days after the interview, I had a question about something in the process and contacted the recruiter I had been working with. While talking to her, I asked to see how things were going with the selection process and she informed me that the hiring manager had completed the in-person. reviews, but that no decision would be made for several weeks because he would be out of the office for the next four weeks on vacation. I had other interviews elsewhere, so I put Metlife on the side until the manager came back, but in the meantime received an offer elsewhere. A couple weeks later, when the manager was suppose to come back, I received an email from my recruiter saying that he was back, but that it would be another two to four weeks before he would make decision since he had to catch up on the work he left behind. At that point, I informed her that I had accepted a position elsewhere. However, I continued to receive automated Metlife emails advertising the exact same jobs that myself and those one hundred or so folks back in June interviewed for nearly five months. In fact, I just checked the Metlife career website and several of those same positions are still listed as unfilled six months later. Thanks for wasting all of our time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Not really difficult or unexpected, I was asked about the numerous projects I have worked on. He also asked the standard, boiler-plate questions out of the HR handbook like telling him about a difficult issue I had encountered.
