I applied through other source. I interviewed at Axis Construction
Interview
Worst experience I have ever had.
First and foremost walking into the office very grim, receptionist an English woman and very kind, as employees walked passed heads were down, cubicle area very cluttered, disorganized and quite dismal to say the least. Interview started well the owner has great character and real businessman potential, on the other hand his “Vice President” which she calls herself is a poor reflection of the company. For those of you that know how to spot a bad boss the “Vice President held all 5 qualities. For example, pronoun usage, If your interviewer uses the term “you” in communicating negative information ( such as, “you will deal with a lot of ambiguity”), don’t expect the boss to be a mentor. If the boss chooses the word “I” to describe the department’s success—that’s a red flag. If the interviewer says “we” in regards to a particular challenge the team or company faced, it may indicate that he or she deflects responsibility and places blame, I gathered this would be Axis Construction. When she told me I was a “bad fit,” that indicated to me the workplace doesn’t spend much time on employee-development, and blames them when things don’t work out. She could not clearly communicate the position or tell me what it will take for me to be successful in the position. I wondered why I was interviewing for a CFO/Controller when clearly she did not want a CFO/Controller. She was intimidated and to be quite frank she did not want to give up her rank which she clearly did not know. I really wanted to ask their employee turn-around time is? I doubt it would have been an honest answer and my guess it is very high. Word of advice do not waste your time, a poorly run company starting with the VP if that is what she wants to call herself, VP of what I should have asked. If you do choose to work there keep your resume updated my impression the front door should be a revolving door.

Question 1
Neither one knew what questions to ask felt very elementary.
