I applied online. I interviewed at Xerotech in Feb 2023
Interview
Interview 1 - I had a 30 minute on line interview scheduled with two people. Only one showed up. How can an interview be fair on many levels with only one interviewer? It should have been rescheduled. I asked Xerotech HR for information about the interview days before this interview so I could prepare properly, ie, was it going to be more about the person, technical knowledge, past experience etc. No reply from HR. HR seemed to be inexperienced, little knowledge of jobs etc. I went into the interview blind. Interviewer seemed nice and to be fair I don't think I interviewed well on my end but what would have helped was feedback/more details from HR pre interview. I didn't get called back for the 2nd interview. All their interviews are on line by all accounts. Not ideal for hiring someone in business development as in person personality and communication plays a vital role in this type of job. I emailed for post interview feedback from Xerotech HR. Got no response. Not surprising. Thereafter I applied for two other similar positions and got no response. Note, I do have a lot of knowledge regarding EV batteries and the EV landscape in general and I don't think Xerotech are selling many batteries. I'm hesitate to believe all their hype. They do seem to have an excellent marketing department which might mean they are masking a lot. I do know the founder and I'm not surprised with the not so flattering, superiority complex, zero people skills feedback about him here on Glassdoor. Not sure he/the leadership team want many employees capable of positively challenging them. People probably have a better chance of employment within Xerotech if they come across as a Yes man/women. Most likely not the best for the company in the long run but might be better for someone to just get a job.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Xerotech (Galway) in Aug 2022
Interview
I had two interviews. I applied for 2 roles within the organsiation and i was called in for a video interview for an open position. First round was normal and the second interview I was given a task on their process engineering side and I felt i made good details on it. In the first round, one of the managers was not even present and during the second round, one of them was on holidays, but they still scheduled it with a lead who I felt was inexperienced in technical side of what the task had asked for.
Xerotech is a good, futuristic company and they have good product portfolio and employees within the organisation who are constantly in touch with other potential employees through videos explaining about Xerotech on their website, but when it comes to hiring, they are indecisive and they do not put full thought about what roles they are hiring for and when they foresee it. So please ensure you have that confidence before going in for an interview.
