I applied in-person. I interviewed at ADM (Davenport, IA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Full day interview, tour around the area with a realtor. Some 1-1 interviews, and a panel interview. Interviewed with the engineering manager, HR, and department superintendents. Not a very technical interview, they were more concerned about "safety" and "culture". This should have been a red flag that the site had issues with both.

Question 1
How have you contributed to your company's safety culture? Tell us about a time you experienced conflict and how you resolved the issue
