Thank you for pointing out that management was professional and pleasant in your interactions. While you may feel that the interview process was longer than expected, we are a small company with a small, dedicated, highly-skilled work force boasting an average tenure of 9 years, 7 months. The position for which you interviewed demands daily interactions with multiple departments. Establishing a clear understanding of job details and expectations from both an employer and employee point of view is paramount for a successful relationship. Howell Instruments was founded by a veteran, and we have completed hundreds of projects for all branches of the United States military forces. We have an inherent interest in fostering continued careers of our service men and women and currently, a full 25% of our employees are veterans. We offer compensation that we feel is commensurate with experience and job requirements, as well as an excellent benefits package. While we were not the right fit for each other, we wish you luck in your continued job search and success in your future endeavors.
