I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Messa (Lansing, MI) in Jul 2025
Interview
Phone interview followed by in-person interview and then salary negotiations. The phone interview was easy, in-person was also easy. Salary negotiations were handled poorly. They low-balled me by $10k, waited almost a month then countered to match my salary, but demanded I start in 3 weeks after I told them I wanted to give 1 month notice to my current employer. This raised red flags for me, so I asked about the workspace situation only to find out their techs all share a pair of large workspaces and have absolutely no privacy or personal space whatsoever. At this point, I declined.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"How do you take care of your clients? What's your standard operating procedure?"
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Messa
Interview
Virtual interview because of covid
Typical interview canned questions like why do you want to work here and how did you handle conflict in the past with only a few questions about how my experience could help the company.
Required strict testing before even interviewing!! I had the perfect qualifications and experience for the position. However, missed a score on one for the required test by 2% so they would NOT even interview! Test had nothing to do with the position! Tests were very archaic!! All over tests scored over the required percentages!!
