      Administrative Assistant Interview

      17 Nov 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, MA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MIT (Cambridge, MA) in Sept 2015

      Interview

      Phone interview about a week after I applied online went great and I was scheduled for an in person interview about 2 weeks later. First met with the manager for 20 minutes then 4 people together for 20 minutes. The experience with the manager was good, he was very nice and personable and discussed the job and asked me a few questions, however the panel interview was a horrible experience. The people on the panel, potential future coworkers, acted like I was wasting their time from the moment I met them. No smiling, no friendliness, and nothing to suggest that I might be someone who would actually be a coworker in the future and that they cared what I thought of them. I found the experience very unsettling. They seem to get a lot of their workers as temps but this is no reason for this kind of behavior.
