Behavioral Technical Other

The process starts with a phone interview, which is the initial screening. If that goes well, a face-to-face interview with the department head is scheduled. The second interview was conducted by another maintenance supervisor. They asked about common practical scenarios and process equipment, and seemed particularly interested in learning about the salaries at my previous companies. In the end, HR didn't provide any feedback, just a message through the application stating that the interview wasn't satisfactory and my profile didn't meet their requirements. There was no further feedback after that.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process started great, including a plant tour and discussions covering behavioral questions and my background. I was told to follow up the next week. When I did, I learned they had made a decision but were awaiting approval from upper management. They asked me to check back in a week. After another follow-up, they stated they were still working on it, and then communication ceased. For the next three weeks, neither the interviewer nor HR responded to my calls or emails. I've decided to withdraw my application from this company.

Behavioral Technical Other

The process started with a phone interview, then there were two in-person interviews where I met with several people. They also had me do some personality and skill tests. It was a pretty typical process and they explained it well. I was asked a lot during the interviews, but it was easy to get the info I needed to figure out how I could develop in the role and if there would be room for me to grow later.

The interview process was slow and had a lot of changes. We experienced technical difficulties with the video conferencing software used for interviews. There was also a lot of waiting time at the facility entrance because the interviewer was delayed with another candidate.
