The interview process began with a brief 20-minute screening to get a general understanding of my background. Following that, there was a panel interview. The initial email mentioned three interviewers, but in the actual interview, only one of them was present, along with an additional interviewer whose identity was not specified. The focus of this interview was on standard behavioral questions, particularly concerning teamwork and overcoming challenges.

I applied online and then got an email the next week to take a test. I took the test two weeks later and was offered an interview for the following week. The interview had managers from all three Pittsburgh plants, HR, and talent acquisition. I got the job offer via email less than 24 hours later and then filled out the background check stuff. After that, I got another email to schedule my physical, which was set for less than a week later. So, before getting my start date, the whole thing took a bit over a month.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online and had my first interview on Microsoft Teams about 4 weeks after they emailed me. It was with a manager, and they asked typical interview questions. I heard back the same day about setting up an onsite tour/interview at one of their plants in a few weeks. Everything was going well until then, but then communication just stopped. I emailed my contact about availability and expenses, but never got a reply. The week I was supposed to go, they texted to ask if I was still available, after almost a month of silence. I said I could only come if they paid for my expenses, and they finally said yes. I started planning the trip, and it looked like it was happening, but then they went quiet again. It's frustrating and a waste of time with the poor communication. I wouldn't suggest this company if you're not close to one of their locations.
