Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at HII
Two short interviews over Teams. They told me a little about the company and the project, and asked me some questions about my resume. There was nothing too technical or complicated.
- Why are you interested in this position?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at HII
Group of 30 in mass group. Heard about the company got a tour and got fed. THere were individual questions in one on one too. Show up early and have all of your paperwork submitted and in order.
- The guy asked me super technical engineering questions that were way out of anything I had heard prior. THis is not normal btw,

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at HII in Oct 2022
I only got to round one of interviews as the position was filled shortly after my interview, but the interviewer was very helpful and honest. Even pointing out that I could have been asking for a higher salary as the position started at $92,000 and giving me certain things I could focus on to improve my chances in the next round of interviews.
- How would your previous experience be relevant to this role?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. I interviewed at HII
Despite saying they had reviewed my resume I learned in the interview that I didn't meet their requirements. They expect 2 years of experience or a bachelors for entry-level roles with 'associate' in the title, and advertise these jobs in the entry-level categories of job sites. When you hire for people who have 2+ YoE but are still applying for entry-level roles in the country's most in-demand profession, instead of looking at portfolios and the actual capabilities of the individuals, you attract people who ride a desk and do the bare minimum not to be fired.
- Nothing that wasn't already covered in both the resume and the online application.

Anonymous Interview Candidate

The interview was good. The conversation in the interview was geared towards the job and what was expected. I asked 4 questions afterward about quality of life like how is quality perceived in the company vs purchasing.
- Are you ok with doing your own travel plans

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Starkville, MS
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HII (Starkville, MS) in Sept 2022
I enjoy their recruitment team, and they gave me constructive feedback about my resume. Overall, it is a great company. I would highly encourage people to look for a job opportunity with HII
- I was asked if teamwork was important

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HII
3 Phone interviews in total. Had 2 interviewers who tag-teamed and played Good Cop - Bad Cop. Not bad actually, I enjoyed the game. The HR pre-interview is done in order to weed out candidates. At first they seem too friendly and reasonable. Then HR will make promises they can keep and will have no problem ghosting you. This is cruel treatment for candidates willing to go the extra mile for HII. In the end, I was ghosted and found out that they hired someone from within. Very disappointed about this company's practices, and I will not recommend them to any of my fellow analysts.
- Bizarre on-the-spot scenario questions, but they are done just to see how fast you can think, and to figure out what you know about the customer.
- How soon are you willing to relocate?
- They will quiz you about your level of knowledge on how the customer operates, which i think it's reasonable to ask.
