      Lab Technician Interview

      29 May 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      White Bear Lake, Ramsey, MN
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pentair (White Bear Lake, Ramsey, MN) in May 2012

      Interview

      Initially applied for the job online via Pentair's website. Job posting said St. Paul which is perfect for me, but in actuality was in White Bear Lake. Whole process consisted of three interviews, an initial phone interview/screen, an in person interview which was both 1:1 and panel, and then a third interview/meet and greet. Overall the interview process was average and consisted of mostly background information about myself, but also included some technical knowledge questions. After a period of roughly two weeks I was given an offer. In discussing my initial thoughts about it with the HR Manager, I was told "there's no wiggle room". After thinking about it over the weekend, I declined the offer with no counter based on the fact I'd been told there's no wiggle room. Not ten minutes later I was called saying "really willing to negotiate and we are very flexible". A little contradicting don't you think. I had called back twice and left voicemails, but had received no reply for over a week. I then was called by another person who asked for my feedback about the whole interview offer process. I gave both positive and negative feedback and was professional about it. The position was no longer available to me. A little confusing and unprofessional on their part in offering me the position, saying they'd negotiate, then no correspondence, and then simply asking for feedback saying it's no longer available...
