I had two phone interviews - one with HR and one with a regional manager. They were straightforward, quintessential interview questions. Describe your experiences, strengths, weaknesses. Why do you want to work for R&R, & what do you understand to be the work of the position/company? The company culture was difficult for me in that the position was working from home as a field consultant. I didn't like that and wasn't into the idea of working with automotive dealerships. The conversation with the regional manager was about an hour and a half (!!!), so all signs would point to a positive outcome. That wasn't the case, and since it was so long, I was confused on what they wanted to see from interviews.

I took a long, detailed online assessment. I gave one phone interview, and was told I would be given a second phone interview. In the meantime I was sent an additional set of application questions, and an ethics assessment. Several days later, I received an email stating I was not getting the job, despite having been told I would receive another interview. In the end my two qualms are this: 1) I was told I would receive a second interview, and this turned out not to be true. 2) The questions on the supplemental application and ethics assessment were awkward and invasive. I give a few examples below. The supplemental application asked many questions about my spouse (I am not married, and there was no "if applicable" anywhere on the page), as well as inquiring if I had car, child support or alimony payments. The ethics assessment was very fixated on two particular issues: marijuana, and stealing. 55 questions, and nearly every single one was about my views on marijuana and stealing.
