It was nice, competent and on eye level. I liked it a lot. There was a company tour and they showed us everything the company does. We also went to production and looked at the articles. It was fun.

An external recruiter reached out and scheduled an interview with the Hiring Manager, which went well. After a few weeks, I had a 4-hour face-to-face meeting with a group of people from different functions. I think I performed well and made it to the last round, but they hired someone else.

Interview went great. The regional manager wanted to do a phone interview and said everything seemed great. They never called or e-mailed me back, not even to tell me they decided not to hire me. I e-mailed them and didn't get a response. My roommate interviewed with them a month ago and they haven't got back to him either. He e-mailed them and still hasn't been responded to.

The interview was okay. They asked me about my current experiences, what I've managed, the size of my company, a description of their company, and the role they are looking for. There were two interviews, one with the HR Manager and another with the HR Purchase Manager and Plant Manager.
