I would avoid this company if possible. The recruiter, an older member of a majority group, was condescending, interruptive, and disrespectful towards an experienced and qualified candidate from a minority group. The situation was so unpleasant that the candidate had to withdraw. For example, when the candidate started to explain something from their resume, the recruiter interrupted them, asking why anyone would need to interview candidates if everything is on the resume, and said it in a serious, not light-hearted, way. It's recommended to avoid this company until the recruiter's behavior is addressed.

Behavioral Presentation
I applied online and the first step was a phone call from HR where they asked basic questions about my current role and what I'm looking for. They also share the salary range upfront, which is great. The second interview was a Teams meeting with my potential manager and an HR manager. This part involved presenting solutions for a case study that was given to me beforehand, so I had ample time to prepare. I had to solve and present two case studies. In addition to the case studies, I was asked standard behavioral questions. A team member also joined us later in the interview. The third interview was in-person with the Director and my potential manager. We toured the facility and had a relaxed chat with some simple questions. Overall, it was a really positive interview experience, especially with my immediate manager.

Had an initial HR screening call. Then, a second interview with the team manager and a director from a related department. This was very technical, focusing on advanced Excel skills and general finance/analytics knowledge. The third interview was with the team director, mostly behavioral questions about my experience. Unfortunately, I was rejected because a stronger candidate was selected and accepted an offer.

The interview was for a spot at the plant. A recruiter from the main office set it up. They were really good at keeping things organized and letting me know what was happening. First, I had a quick chat on the phone with the corporate recruiter. Then, I had another interview over Teams with the HR person from the plant and the manager for the job. The last interview was in person at the plant, and they even gave me a tour.
