Phone interview featured average questions asked by the operations manager. The same questions were repeated in the person interview with new ones thrown in. The new questions involved skills set and then invasive questions regarding soft skills and personal life. The manager didn't like answers and would press for weaknesses. When I asked him about his supervisory skills, he claimed he did micromanage but closely monitors employees. I am pretty sure that is the definition of micromanaging. Then, he also mentioned that if hires someone and the person does not seem to have a good personality, he would isolate the person and then push him/her out. The owner was there agreeing as to that is the practice. They also expect one person to complete the roles of many people instead of hiring specialists in order to save costs. Unless you like to play head games, avoid this place like the plague. I withdrew my application before waiting for offer.
