They flew me out for an interview after several phone interviews, then ghosted me for weeks afterwards. The people seemed nice to work for, but there was a lack of communication in the process.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Smith+Nephew
Interview
They took a long time to respond to me. Whole process lasted about 2 months and I went through 3 rounds of interviews. One recorded interview, one online interview, and a final in person interview at the location. They were really nice
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do your current role and the skills you currently use translate to this position
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Smith+Nephew (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jan 2025
Interview
I received an email stating that, on behalf of Smith+Nephew, they would like to schedule a 30-minute phone interview with me. However, from the start, the interview felt confrontational.
First, the interviewer claimed the position wasn’t suitable for me because I didn’t live in the Pittsburgh area—until I clarified that many people commute daily from Ohio to Pittsburgh. Next, they stated I lacked manufacturing experience, which I corrected by explaining that the majority of my experience has been in manufacturing environments, working directly on the production floor. Finally, the interviewer concluded that I had too much experience for the role.
