Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process involved many open-ended questions, focusing on things like your strengths and weaknesses. One specific question asked was how to handle an in-process off-spec scenario when all loading checks were confirmed as correct. The interview consisted of two panel interviews, with three interviewers on each panel.

Did an online interview with some pre-set questions, then some psychological tests to check how adaptable I am. After that, there was another online interview and then a face-to-face with the hiring manager, site manager, and some people I would be working with. It went well.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. It mainly consisted of a 45-minute behavioral interview. They're looking for candidates with specific years of experience as mentioned in the job description. The interview panel included a senior process engineer, an operations manager, and someone from HR.
