I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Chemtrade in Aug 2025
Interview
Do not allow them to waste your time.
Between a contractor named Priscilla, HR, 2 managers, panel interviews - I had a total of 7 interviews with their projects team. A total of 5 hours that I took off during working hours.
At the end of this 2 month long process, not a single employee reached out to me to tell me the status. After I reached out twice, their headhunter gave me a couple words response saying they don’t have the budget for an additional employee.
Informal, standard questions. Strengths, weakness, at time when you disagreed with a Supervisor, what was the end result. Nothing technical. Start to finish about 40 minutes, panel interview, took months to hear back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you consider a weakness and how do you address it?
It was a laid-back interview, and there were not any technical questions. They asked about things I did outside of academics, and about my availability. Also asked how I prepared for the interview. The interview was 30 minutes.
