Land O'Lakes Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Land O'Lakes.

Interview

There were 4 interviews with various management and human resource. It was dragged on and interviewers were late or postponed their appointment with you. Had to fill out my application online two times because of a software issue and was making things difficult. This was what I thought to be a great career but I was greatly disappointing.

Negotiation

I did my homework about my wages thanks to this and other sites similar. I was told they would match that wage based on additional yearly bonuses but these bonuses never happened. Unknown to me my job title was changed so I was kept from advancing to higher pay after creating this new title corporate red flags went away!

Interview

Company recruited on campus, secured interview through this. Interview consisted of two 30 minutes sessions with a total of 2 interviewers. First session was strictly behavioral questions, very formal. Second session was more personality type questions, more informal and attempting to dig into what really motivates you and why you made certain choices in your career.

Interview

I applied through the online website. HR contacted me in about a day or so to schedule a 30 minute phone interview. The HR person was very nice and it was simply walking through my resume. From there, I was told I would move onto the second round, which was a second phone interview with the marketing director. Again, very easy and conversational.

Within a day of that second call, I was invited to the third and final round which includes being flown out to Minnesota, for a panel interview. This includes six 1-on-1 30-minute interviews with 2 directors, a VP, marketing manager, another associate marketing manager, and an HR person. They also assign a "marketing buddy" to help answer any questions you might have before the interview. Everyone there was extremely nice and friendly.

The interview with the HR person consisted of a walk through of all of the benefits of being an employee (which I thought was odd since a formal offer has not been provided). All questions were behavioral. They all came in with a list of questions that they clearly picked out at random. Oddly enough, alot of them picked the same questions so I felt like I was repeating the same stories over and over. I felt like a majority of the questions were fairly easy. I was also given a tour of the facility which was new and modern. I was also told I would have to take an online assessment test if the group decided that they wanted me to move forward.

I had my interview on a Friday and was informed of their decision by Monday, so it was a quick turnaround. Although I was not hired, I should have asked why - I felt like I did a fairly good job during the interview so I'm a little surprised...especially after the benefits walk through and all. So I would be curious as to what I could have done differently.

Interview

The Recruiter was excellent to work with and followed up in a timely manner. The interview itself was difficult. It was panel style, extremely structured and focused almost entirely on behavioral questions. To be candid, it felt more like an interrogation than an interview.
