Interview
Wide range of interview questions ranging from behavioral to very technical. Two virtual interviews and one in person. Each took between 30 - 60 minutes to complete. Interviewers were extremely nice.

Interview
First, there was an interview on Skype. After deciding they want to meet with me, they had me come into their office. They asked me to perform chemistry type questions and to show my math in Excel. It was poorly worded and confusing. I have no problems with chemistry or Excel, but I was basically told "go for it" with no explanation on what to do. They also had me write a hypothetical letter to a client explaining the important of safety goggles. After I had completed the tasks, a formal face-to-face interview was performed. Overall, I would say this was a strange interview process.
Even after all of that, they did not have the courtesy to let me know they were not going to pick me. It has been well over a month of no response. Don't expect a response from them. You're wasting your time if they have no interest in you.

Interview
So I was interviewed back in 2007. I will never forget this interview because it was the most bizzare interview I have ever had. As soon as I arrived at their small office I was asked to sit at a computer and solve problems. It was ridiculous! The problems were totally unrelated to what someone would apply in the field of environmental compliance consulting. The owner or president of the company then interviewed me for about 2 minutes and told me "well..if you are having trouble with the problems then maybe this& isn't the right position for you." I was shocked especially since I graduated from UC Berkeley and carried a GPA of 3.5. Anyways long story short, I am the Corporate Environmental Engineer for one of the biggest pulp and paper companies in the country. I am in charge of 90 manufacturing plants and work directly with outside environmental legal council and our General Council on a consistent basis. Take it from me, this company isn't worth your time if you have an education. Its a "dead end" job. Too bad they were so disrespectful during my interviewing process because I may have hired them to do national work for us.
This is an old school company ran by old baby boomers who don't know how to survive in today's market. You need youth and fresh thinking.
