Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process involves about 2 to 3 interviews with management and peers. It starts with an initial screen, then a manager interview, and finally a ride along. The interviews focus on topics like managing in stressful situations, solving problems, and resolving conflicts.

The hiring process started with a phone screening to go over some basic info and salary expectations. After that, there was a video call with HR. They were super nice and kept me in the loop with updates and clear follow-ups.

The interview was great, very technical and hands-on. They asked in-depth questions about container terminal operations and different strategies for optimal operations flow. They also covered leadership, people performance management, engagement, and change management. A key focus was on upholding a great safety culture to lead with care.
