Took a personality test which included a writing example as well as a lot of sales related questions. None of the questions related to analytics, logistics or supply chain. Which was odd for a operations analyst. They wanted me to come in for the first interview. I said I would like to do a phone screen first to make sure it was a good fit. Someone from HR contacted me over the phone and asked about my experience and why I was looking to leave my current company. She couldn't tell me anything about the job or about their supply chain processes, so it was hard to really understand what I'd be doing. Towards the end of the interview she said my experience was exactly what they were looking for and wanted me to come in and speak to the hiring manager. This is in Auburn almost an hour each way. I asked what the comp range was to see if it would be a good financial fit. Immediately she changed her tone. She said they were looking for someone who was excited about the job and wasn't worried about the compensation. I was stunned since she had been trying hard to get me to come in, now she didn't seem to want anything to do with me. In my experience comments like " We are looking for someone who was excited about the job and isn't worried about the compensation" means they aren't competitive in pay and are looking for some someone who is either desperate or isn't currently making much, where they can underpay them for their skills. I mentioned that I wouldn't take a step backwards in my financial position regardless of how much I wanted to do the job and they wouldn't want that from an employee anyways. Sounds like family owned and operated means I'll be working hard for someone else's benefit and wont be compensated accordingly for the interest of those at the top.

Went okay. 2 tests followed by interview with HR manager. 1 test was pattern recognition for a pattern and another was a series of saying if two numbers matched. Interview was focused on my resume and history and motivations. Was okay
