First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Eat Just.
IT Specialist
We'll have a deep dive into your experience, and then some behavioral questions about how you've solved problems, worked in teams, and handled pressure. We'll also talk about cultural fit and your collaboration style, and just have a natural conversation.
- Can you introduce yourself?
- What was the most difficult program experience you've had in your position?
Analyst
I was initially contacted by a recruiter and then quickly set up an interview with the hiring manager. Following that, the recruiter scheduled a second interview but then canceled it on the day of because of a scheduling conflict. The recruiter said they'd get back to me, but they never did. It was a big shift because both the recruiter and hiring manager were really enthusiastic about my application initially. I was surprised they didn't follow up after canceling the second interview. I still don't know what happened. It left a really bad impression how they just left me hanging. It can't be that hard to send an email saying you're going in a different direction after canceling an interview, right?
- Can you share some general details about your previous work history?
Food Process Engineer
Had 3 phone interviews before the onsite. The onsite day included a presentation for the R&D team, where I had to present on how a process flow would change using plant protein isolates. They asked questions during the presentation about why I chose certain processes and what other options exist. It's important to really know all the processes and why each step is needed. Stay calm and think through the technical questions logically. The rest of the onsite interviews were less technical, focusing on behavioral and experience-based questions with the teams I'd work with. They might cut the day short if I'm not a good fit.
- What are the capacity considerations when choosing between a continuous oven and a batch oven?
- Besides heat transfer, what other functions does humidity serve?
- Can you explain your reasoning behind the process selections in your presentation?
R&D
I got a cold call from a recruiter and did the usual phone screening, then had a call with the hiring manager. Everyone was nice. The onsite was a bit chaotic, and many people there were young and attractive. The technical questions felt like they were trying to get free solutions to their problems, not really assess my skills. I felt kinda used after that, especially after seeing some comments from the CEO about hiring. They said their funding was good and they were making money. Mentioned being in Google/Apple cafeterias, which sounds like a lot of people. Heard they're seeking $200 million at a $1.1 billion valuation. Something felt off.
- Would you find working with food boring after being in a fast-paced biotech field?
