Candidate-reported interview process

The interview had more questions than I anticipated, going on for almost an hour. Unfortunately, I wasn't selected in the end. It was disappointing and felt like a waste of time. Perhaps the interviewer had higher expectations, but I did learn something new from the meeting.

It was a panel interview where I was interviewed by all the shift team leaders, and it felt quite nerve-wracking. The hiring process itself was okay, though some information got misplaced, which led to longer waiting times.

The interview felt pretty chill. I talked with HR and someone from manufacturing. They mostly asked about my work history and experience. It took about 40 minutes to an hour.
