Operating Engineer Interview Questions

846 operating engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Questions asked at each stage were similar: 'tell me about yourself', 'what are your superpowers' etc and the founder kept going back to whether I had carbon copy experience elsewhere rather than being willing to consider or discuss transferrable skills. The founder also did not appear to like me asking questions about who had invested in the company, what stage it was at etc which should be a red flag for anyone coming in at executive level

The company is very sketchy and no one reveals their final names no online presence to vet the company or founding teams operational since 20 years still zero revenues they are just trying to raise funds and elode from the market salaries paid are against government laws. if you get caught, you are on your own DO NOT SIGN ANY DOCUMENTS OR TAKE UP LEADERSHIP ROLE> THIS IS A VERY BIG SCAM

The Hiring manager asked almost all the questions and others were along for the ride. He has a larger than life ego. The interview was laced with profanity including a few F bombs demonstrating insecurity, lack of self discipline and unprofessionalism. As I assured the team that my prior experience demonstrated my ability to grow into a role of COO, the Iwas actually told if I had $120 myn, I could buy the business, run it as I saw fit. When it was decided I was not a fit, the hiring manager stated so in the interview and asked the others to affirm his decision in the interview. They were subordinates and had no choice but to agree under duress. I thanked them for their time, shook their hands and was walked to the door by a visibly embarrassed Associate. When I asked, to whom I could submit my mileage, she said she had never been asked that before. Four hours later I received an email telling me they would not even pay mileage because it was not discussed ahead of time. I drove 900 miles round trip and took a days vacation to attend the interview. I did not even ask for meals or accommodations. All of this tells me these people have a tremendous amount of professional growth to achieve, and whoever does find a job at this organization had better be prepared for a lot of second guessing and an emotional roller coaster of activity as you are likely to be micromanaged to death. Beware!
