      Management Trainee Interview

      10 Dec 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at McMaster-Carr

      Interview

      Received a call from a recruiter at HQ, asked for a quick walk through of my resume. Then she called me back to schedule my interview in Atlanta. I wasn't really looking for a new job, but the pay and benefits sounded good so I gave it a shot. It was a long day of interviews with various people. Many of them had been in the trainee program themselves, all nice and enthusiastic. However, I really could tell that most of them were full of themselves -- which I think is reflected in the other reviews as well. Interview questions were typical behavioral questions. It was a pretty easy interview, but a long day. I don't think any of the people had an engineering degree; I expected that but, again, was just seeing how it played out. After the interviews, I wasn't really interested -- just seemed like too much of a step down from my current role as an engineer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked me to explain what each of my last two employers could learn from each other. It was a strange question, considering the two companies were two completely different industries.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      The interview process was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. I really appreciated that the discussions were fully behavioral, allowing me to naturally draw on my past experiences. Furthermore, the company truly goes out of its way to treat you like a VIP throughout the entire visit, covering a remarkably nice hotel stay and providing a generous stipend to ensure you are completely comfortable.

      Interview

      One behavioral interview with a recruiter and then a day-long onsite interview at the Elmhurst IL location. Superday has two behavioral interviews, walkarounds and more but feels like you're being observed everyday.
