Sources and scope
This page collects workplace experiences, questions and discussions submitted by users. Dates shown are submission dates, not periods of employment. Individual reports do not describe the entire company.
Read the community guidelines1. The HR staff’s emails and in-person interactions were pretty good.
2. There is a written test first, after which they notify you about the interview. Some of the written-test questions are quite vague, and the short-answer questions test your knowledge of Toyota’s culture. I recommend researching what that is before you go.
1. The meeting room has no partitions and is only screened off with canvas. During the interview, I kept hearing the sound of a meeting, and the content was not particularly worthwhile.
2. The interviewing manager was very obnoxious and full of themselves. Some of the things they said were laughably absurd—what gave them the confidence to say such twisted nonsense? They also lacked empathy. However, if your interaction with the interviewing manager is poor, your interactions after joining will definitely be even worse. So think it through carefully.
3. The salary range posted online is actually overstated. Based on the estimate, the base salary at the low end is 25K, not 27K. They then add various components and tell you that the annual average is over 30K. Be careful with such uncertain figures; you may end up receiving only a slightly higher base salary.
4. If you have better options, you don’t necessarily have to choose this company.
No pros
I dreamed of it—the company interview was truly great. Before going in, you have to take a written test.
Even for a business-related position, it’s great that you still have to answer a bunch of conceptual questions and do mathematical calculations.
A company that large, with so many different positions, still uses the same test paper for everyone.
Why would someone applying for a business position need to be tested on these concepts? I have no idea.
After spending time taking the test, you have to make another trip there. Truly great—you can’t even interview right away.
Shouldn’t a business position involve questions related to sales and business?
Speechless. By the end, I was just filling in answers at random.
The company is great too: even though it was unbearably hot, they didn’t turn on a fan. It was stuffy there for almost two hours.
This is really the kind of company you can work for.
