      Management Trainee Interview

      15 Oct 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams

      Interview

      The HR woman who called me was so extremely rude I don’t understand how she even has a job. She made snide comments at things like my college major, even though that is completely irrelevant to my ability to perform well on the job. She also interrupted me multiple times, then seemed agitated when I lost my train of thought in the process. After 10 minutes, she abruptly ended everything and I was never more happy in my life to hang up a phone.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What is your college major and why did you choose it?

      Question 2

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams in Dec 2024

      Interview

      Started with a phone interview after the application submission. Then the in store interview was scheduled. You're told to print out questions to ask the interviewer. Left on read and ghosted by recruiter after interview. Unprofessional.

      Question 1

      They hand you questions to ask them about the role and program.
