Question 1
At what height do scaffolds then require a engineer before erecting?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KBR (Jacksonville, FL) in Aug 2018
Interview
A week after applying I was contacted by phone without any prior notice that I would be contacted. It was a complete surprise that they would call and want to conduct a phone interview on the spot. I was informed further about the position and given further responsibilities that would be required. Was given the chance to ask some questions, however, the questions were avoided with random talk about the position.
I was told I would be emailed a Day/Time for an interview and it could be worked around my current job. Yet they seem to not be able to do so I was required to take a day off from work in the middle of the week.
Randomly again I was requested to supply documents the day before the interview. Because of a theft of my identity a long time ago, making much of my information not made available easily online HR had an issue with this so the message I received. After arrangements had been made to make myself available for the interview a random request the day before the interview wanting documents they postpone the interview just 15 hours before.
The day of the interview I supplied all the requested documents by email, for weeks all I got was emails with out of office notice and no return to my phone calls. A week had past and they placed another request for an official copy of a document.
Again this request came from the hiring manager whom ability to communicate would take weeks to return emails and seem to be stringing me along.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS EMPLOYER...
MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT WORKING DIRECTLY FOR THIS EMPLOYER IS HORRIBLE...

Question 1
What are some of your shortfalls in your work performance?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at KBR
Interview
Very smooth all the way until they ghost you. I literally had an offer in hand and was getting it approved. They ghosted me for 2-3 weeks, they complained about me wanting to have some flex time due to the commute, and they completely blindsided me towards the end with ZERO communication. I ended up withdrawing because this is not only an indicator at their professionalism, but my self-respect is worth more - would rather spend my time elsewhere.
