Behavioral Technical

It was a pretty chill interview process. First, an HR screening just confirmed the basics on my resume. Then there were a few basic behavioral questions, but no actual technical discussion. They mostly talked about their own careers.

I had an interview with HR, it was about 30 to 40 minutes long, just with the HR person in charge. The interview only had questions about my professional and academic background.

Behavioral

I interviewed directly with my future supervisor. It wasn't at Vale, it was more casual. They asked about my personality, not really engineering stuff. I talked about the benefits and plant processes. A week later, I accepted the offer. Two weeks after that, I went to the plant site to meet the supervisor who hired me, only to find out he quit for a better opportunity.
