Moog Inc. interview questions

The process was extremely long! After being contacted by an external recruiter, The initial phone screening was after 3 months. The call lasted about 45 minutes and an in person interview was set up after about a week. This lasted over 5 hours with different members of the team. They all went by a internal "STAR" template. This stands for situation, tactic, action, result. They ask you different scenarios from your past work experience and ask you to describe while following the template how it was handled. It took me over 4 weeks to get a actual response. ( The hiring manager must have got irritated with me questioning the organization of the company, because afterwards I was denied the position) Luckily for me, I have a good job, but this is not how company's should treat potential candidates, it was almost like they try the string you along as long as they possibly can. Again for a company like this, they seemed extremely unorganized. Going forward, I would not even appease taking a job with this company!

Recruiter reached out a few times with a few different positions on LinkedIn. Replied everytime but got no response for about 3 months. Finally got an interview and it was not pleasant, panel and personal interviews for multiple hours where they tore every bit of my experience to shreds in a grueling fashion. I understand the need to grill people but no one has the exact experience in your products and can answer detailed questions on them unless they already work for you. I pushed that the experience I did have was with similar products in the same industry and which have a huge amount of overlap with their products but are not identical. Afterwards I started questioning whether I was comfortable working with people like this but kept it positive with the recruiter. Offer came in a few weeks later a little under what was expected and with much worse benefits (PTO is very bad with no sick time and 401k is pretty bad for younger engineers). Discussed my concerns and was told this is the absolute best offer they could give. I declined the next day and the recruiter called asking why. I reminded him he stated they could not negotiate and that the offer was simply inadequate. A week later a slightly better offer came in but at this point I felt the company was just being too hostile. The interview was ridiculously rough and then they refused to negotiate without me walking away, for this they've lost my trust and I'd prefer take a pay cut then work with people I cant trust.
