GEODIS Interview Questions
& Process

So we start with some simple questions about operations and check your basic understanding of the process. Then, we'll ask some questions about your employment background to see if you've worked in a Warehouse environment before. If you do well on those, especially with questions about WMS like Manhattan or Protrack, the next step is getting the offer letter.

So I went through 4 interviews. First, I spoke with the recruiter, then the hiring manager, and finally, two interviews with some of the senior leadership team. They really dug into my experience with people management, my background in transportation, and also focused a lot on my leadership skills, organizational abilities, how I handle client escalations, and my relationship management style.

I first spoke with the recruiter and it went well. Then I interviewed with the hiring manager, and we seemed to connect. On Monday, the hiring manager called to schedule a 15-minute call with his boss, saying it was a formality before extending an offer. I mentioned I was traveling and busy, suggesting the next afternoon. They insisted, so I agreed to a phone call, explicitly stating I wouldn't do Teams due to travel fatigue and preferring no camera. However, it turned into a 45-minute Teams video call where they insisted I turn on my camera. The interviewer scrutinized my past job tenures (which the hiring manager already knew about), my pricing skills, and my ability to sell, implying few people can do both. When I followed up with the hiring manager about this, my email was ignored. This felt disrespectful, especially since they expected me to interrupt my travel for them on short notice but couldn't honor a simple request about the interview format. The call also ran long, showing a lack of regard for my time or that I might have other options. This experience gave me a clear sense of the work environment. I guess I'm fortunate to not have been hired, especially given they ghost candidates they make demands of and then fail to provide even a basic rejection notice. They shouldn't act like they have that much power over someone job hunting.

I was found on LinkedIn and went through two interviews. I didn't get an offer or hear back for a year and a half. Then, the same recruiter reached out again asking if I was still interested in interviewing. Since I hadn't found another job, I agreed. This time, there was one more interview. I only spoke with HR, and the person who would have been my manager only spent about 5 minutes with us. I should have seen that as a warning sign. I did end up accepting the offer, but was treated poorly and ended up quitting a few months later. The interview itself was okay, and not hard at all.
