Started with an HR phone interview asking why I applied and about company culture. Then onsite interviews included HR discussing benefits and a building tour, a chat with the hiring manager, a quick meet and greet with the department head, and finally more questions with the hiring manager.

We had a co-op day where all the applicants who passed the first round came for an all-day in-person event. The morning started with a networking session over breakfast to meet employees. Then, there was a town hall with a presentation about Grinnell Mutual. After that, a panel of current employees, co-ops, and former co-ops shared their experiences.
