Candidate-reported interview process

It’s a really standard interview. You get asked about your work history, where you see yourself heading, and to just tell them about yourself. They also ask about your best and worst qualities. The person interviewing me seemed pretty chill, but also like they just wanted to get it over with. I guess interviewing lots of people every day would be tiring and get pretty boring.

We had a phone call with HR first, then a phone call with the facilities manager. After that, I went in for an in-person interview with the manager and some other engineers. We also took a plant tour with the maintenance manager where we talked about the job qualifications and duties, and what a typical day is like.

It was a face-to-face interview with two direct managers. They asked competency questions and a case study. The experience was good because the interviewers were friendly. Just make sure you know about Arconic's different sites.
