Behavioral Technical

The interview process was great. It included one online interview and one in person. HR was really responsive and helpful. The interviews were structured and planned out well. It was a little intimidating with over 5 people interviewing me, but overall it was a good experience and they were easy to talk to.

Behavioral Technical

I had a phone interview with some basic questions. Right after that, I went in for my in-person interview. Since the job description was kind of vague, they brought in whichever managers needed someone. I ended up talking to three managers and the HR person. It felt a bit overwhelming at first, but I got comfortable pretty fast.

I had a group interview with the section manager and team leaders. After that, we took a plant tour. Then, the HR person, manager, and I talked about salary. They said it was a good interview. I never heard back from them in the 2.5 months after.
