I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FM (Baton Rouge, LA) in Feb 2018
Interview
Went to a career fair on campus, knew something about the company, got an interview the next day, 30 minute interview, asked standard questions and talked about the company, said they would choose one person to fly out to their hiring location and meet everyone and presumably would be hired.
Mostly waiting for a response and not hearing back from anyone. Seems like a disjointed process. I had a reference from someone who has been at the company a long time and it still took 9 months to make it half way through the process.
Interview process was thorough and multiple levels. They emphasize social skills and having a strong engineering background. Much of the technical learning for the position is done after being hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Situational analysis for different types of hazards.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FM (Dunboyne) in Mar 2021
Interview
A very straightforward interview process. There were no trick questions, and it was focused mainly on competencies. It seemed like a really nice place to work, with people that I could easily work with.
There was an initial phone screening interview, followed by a virtual one on one with the hiring manager, and a final interview with three senior managers.
I was surprised to be asked how old I was, and if I had any family. These are non-standard interview questions, and pretty much frowned on today. If this type of question offends you, you better avoid.
I was a bit disappointed not to be offer the position as it was a role that would have really suited me. It took well over two weeks after the final interview to be told that I was unsuccessful, which I felt was too long.
