Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Crown Technical Systems (Fontana, CA).
Entrevista
Was contacted by a recruiter for a PM production position. After going over the basics, was set up with a zoom interview with two current PMs at the company. Conversation and questions went well, they explained they are in a niche business and expanding so they needed to find PMs from different industries and that all training would be provided. Was then invited on site to interview and tour facilities. A week later was told there would be no offer since I lacked the specific experience that would be provided in training. The recruiter called me to tell me that he didn't agree and apologized for wasting my time.

Entrevista
The interview process felt more like an interrogation than a typical interview. It was lengthy, intense, and at times, even aggressive. The entire process lasted over two hours. Initially, I had a virtual interview with the purchasing manager and senior buyer, which lasted approximately 45 minutes. I was then invited for an in-person interview with the same two individuals, along with the hiring manager, which extended for about 1.5 hours.
Throughout the in-person interview, the hiring manager was particularly intense, and the questioning was relentless. I found myself needing to justify my responses at every turn. It also felt as though they were presenting their internal challenges, seeking immediate solutions from me during the interview. This was quite different from other experiences, such as county interviews, which typically last around 20 minutes.
Ultimately, I did not receive an offer. However, I believe this was partly because, as the interview progressed, I became less engaged, feeling that the work environment might not be the right fit for me.
