Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at ITW.
Intern
They asked about my previous internships, leadership experience and course work. Then they described the summer program and ways they support interns. The interviewer seemed friendly and left time for questions at the end.
- Can you share an example of when you showed leadership?
- Tell me about your past internships.
- What was your experience with leadership?
Intern
The interview lasted about 30 minutes and provided a lot of insight into the company. They asked many questions to understand me better personally, my interests, and my reasons for pursuing this career and major. There were also questions about my experience with teamwork and my comfort level with data and Excel. I felt the interview went really well, it was the most engaging one I've had. However, I was ghosted for two months without any follow-up information, which was disappointing given it's an innovative and highly respected company.
- What is your experience level with Excel?
- What motivated your choice of major?
- Can you tell me what you know about ITW?
Intern
ITW tries to let each business unit manage their own decisions for opportunities and growth because they want to work decentralized. It's a very laid back environment, and they look for people who can work independently with minimal supervision. This really taught me how to manage my time and give my own input. My interview process started with a phone interview where HR reviewed my past experience and education. Then, I was invited for an in-person interview to go over the same things, but this time with production management.
- Regarding your past teamwork experiences, describe a time when a group you were part of disagreed on an issue and how you handled it.
