I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at 3M (Clinton, TN) in July 2024
Interview
It was very laid back and just like a normal conversation. They asked about previous work ( everyone does) , they go over the schedule, and emphasize safety in the plant.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at 3M (Cumberland, WI) in May 2018
Interview
Hiring process is long - they tell you not to put in your 2 weeks notice with your current employer till it's over, which is good advice. Process is: Initial testing, further testing, interview, background check, drug test, paperwork. They won't even talk to you till your interview is done.
Interview itself was a panel of 4 people each asking me questions - process tech, process engineer, HR person, supervisor.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All their questions were 100% "tell me a time when you..." based. Tell me about a time you worked really hard as a team and saw great results/saw bad results/tell me about a time you set goals for yourself and did/didn't succeed, etc.
