Perguntas de entrevista da empresa Remote Imagery Technologies

First off, the management at RITI use an intermediary to sift through initial applicants. In other words, if you need feedback on your application after being passed to a hiring manager you're SOL until that hiring manager reaches out. After that though the interview process is very smooth. Talked to HR at RITI, was given a plane ticket out to Las Vegas, a rental, and a hotel for the night. On day 1 (after landing in Vegas) the initial interview takes place at a restaurant where you meet employees and management. Very casual and a great time with good food. In total I think there were around 8 new applicants there between unmanned ISR pilots and sensor operators. Hilariously, every person was either a fresh faced embry riddle graduate or separating from the local air force base within the next few months. These positions are absolutely entry level regardless the experience you bring to the table. Day 2 is when the actual interview begins. As an unmanned ISR pilot applicant I took a test. Basic commercial pilot knowledge. They don't tell you how you did. Following that I did an in-person interview with the flight department lead and I think the UAS department lead. Both very competent and professional. Finally, I sat down at their UAS simulator and got to play around with that for a bit. Everything UAS they own is scan eagle. After that, I was on my way back home. Like other glassDoor reviewers mentioned this seems to be a good ol' boys club. The pilot leadership I spoke with were quick to point out how they jumped to RITI after failing to find flying work during the 2008 recession. They never left. They don't intend to. Coincidentally, they were embry riddle grads. They highlight during the interview that you should not expect career growth. Management during the interview will stress that you need to be patriotic, low cost, and highly efficient. If you've ever deployed overseas you can probably guess why that's not necessarily the greatest combination to hear in an interview. During the interview you will hear them mention being a "cost-leader" in the industry. RITI management will stress during the interview how unmanned ISR pilots don't require as much rest as their "real" pilots. This is a weird thing to boast about to new applicants. The interviewers during the in-person phase did not handle questions well, and could not answer why they enjoyed coming into work. There are some additionally big obstacles you will hear about if you make it past the initial screening. Compensation was discussed minimally at the interview, but appeared to be entry-level to below industry standard for a deployment job per my own experiences. Lastly, their job-posting for unmanned ISR pilots requires 250 hours in manned aviation and a commercial pilot certificate with instrument. During the interview they didn't check my logbook or flight experience once. Several candidates I arrived with were under this minimum. Proceed at your own risk.
