      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (El Paso, TX)

      Interview

      Showed up 10 minutes before the interview time only to be told the manager I had my appointment with had gone out to lunch (10 AM). It was a training store so I imagine this manager has many people come through his store so after they told me to come back in an hour I simply went home and told the recruiter what happened. It was a huge red flag and I knew this was not the company for me.

      Question 1

      Will you wait around and come back in an hour?

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams in Dec 2022

      Interview

      The screening interview was situational, not bad at all, standard "do you have any work experience to link to this" kinds of questions. Second was an in-store walkthrough, the particular manager I got was a good guy and had very little issue describing exactly what the day-to-day around there was like, didn't try to "sell the corporate dream" like HR professionals will. Third interview (final) was where the problem lied. Hiring manager there gave off sociopathic vibes, and I was more or less given a standard interview, but either they had already made a decision on a prior interview or just really couldn't handle basic human interaction. Very impersonal and robotic from the moment I got past the receptionist. The main problem with their interview system is that the first two interviews really don't matter. The last one with the hiring manager holds all the weight, and they will string you along until this point. I heard this complaint around the internet while I was interviewing here, and I can confirm its authenticity. Overall, interview here if you like, but don't trust that positive vibes from the beginning will mean local corporate will care about your time invested in interviewing there. They can and will dismiss you in half an hour of interviewing after you've put in ~2 hours 15 in prior interviews, one requiring travel.
