The interview process was very simple and straightforward. My interview was quick and to the point. They asked a series of questions that led to a job offer, and the questions themselves were simple and straightforward about my work experience.

Run far away from them. It was the most disorganized interview process I've ever been apart of. I'm embarrassed for this team and the process I participated in. How they are experts in safety, but don't know how to follow a basic process is comical. I was contacted by the 'Senior' Recruiter to apply & interview with the local team and never spoke to the Recruiter. It was the first red flag of scheduling me to go on-site without speaking to anyone in recruitment, but proceeded because they are a reputable company (or so I thought). After the on-site, I inquired on my status with the local team and the 'Senior' Recruiter responded with, 'Who did you interview with? What day and what job?' I had to find out the people's names and info because she did not know who I met with (she works there!) The recruiter was completely unaware of what stage of the process I was (after 3 rounds). I was continually giving her information to update her. The last straw was the 3rd round when neither the local team or the Recruiter knew where I was in the process. Today, I reviewed my application in their system and it still shows I'm interviewing yet the process is long over. Needless to say, it was the wrong fit amid such disorganization.

The application process was simple, followed by two phone interviews that were quite thorough and took a good amount of time. Then, there was an in-person interview with a small group of people. They made an offer pretty quickly after the final interview.
