I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Elmhurst, IL) in Dec 2019
Interview
I toured the wearhouse with the recruiter and she explained the various positions. She explained that there is no opportunity for growth at all in the company. A wearhouse worker will only move laterally to other stations but never into a supervisory/ management role . After the tour, we met with the second recruiter who asked very basic interview questions, scribbled some short hand notes on my resume, and watched the clock the entire time. Both recruiters exited the room and I waited 15 minutes for the next person to interview me. Overall the interview process took 2 hours.
efficient and timely, I applied and they responded immediately to set up a zoom conference. Process was streamlined and good communication from the recruiting team . a good experience overall
Call with recruiter- asked about progression, accomplishments Asked for me to write out my experience (even though it was on my resume and the recruiter went over it on the phone) Interview- 2 interviews with virtual tour took about an hour

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to solve a problem with competing demands.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr in May 2021
Interview
The first interview was a simple 30-minute phone interview with someone in HR from McMaster. Very straightforward interview questions, and mostly was just a qualifications screening. The second interview was a week later. This was a 1-hour long Zoom interview with the first 30 minutes being with the same HR interviewer. She showed me a presentation with pictures of the warehouse and asked me to identify what I saw in each picture. She then passed me along to a manager in Distribution for another 30 minutes, where I was asked questions related to the pictures I was shown.
