Parker Hannifin interview questions

Messy, would say interviewers selected are part of the problem. Multiple in person rounds on same day with little insight into what candidate is walking into to prepare. Different interviewers frequently stated they were not looking for the same thing thing that the person this position reports to is, making conversations very conflicting, and hard to strike a balance on how skillset could meet need. Interviewers also looked disengaged, and repeated the same (sometimes useless) exact questions several times throughout various rounds. Was also asked how I would handle a direct reports schedule, when I didn’t even know the shift schedules or position schedule yet. Did not feel prepared to answer these questions. Almost all interviewers for my rounds said they do not have work life balance and haven’t in a long time, not really selling the role or company either. I’d suggest thinking through order of interview rounds to help slowly expose candidate to groups, and if it isn’t a match don’t waste the candidate time any further. Also incorporate better interviewers, better questions that are different for each group, and sit in to be sure they are effective in their participation.

6 hour marathon of back to back (mainly) behavior based questions. It was a long day, but I don't mind knocking it all out in one day. Thankfully, a 2nd round of interviews was not needed and an offer was presented within a week.
