I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr
Interview
15 min phone screening describing the role, then another 20 min phone call a few days later. They had reached out to me online after finding my profile so I didn't have much prior interest in the role but did my best to speak about my experience . I think the interviewer realized it wasn't the right fit mid-way though, because she stopped the interview early and abruptly, which I found a bit rude.

I applied through university. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr
Interview
Made it past phone call screening and had a one-on-one chat with a current manager before final round of interviews. Each round was 45 minutes to an hour long and questions were difficult. Have lots of examples ready. Have different answers ready for similar questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview process was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. I really appreciated that the discussions were fully behavioral, allowing me to naturally draw on my past experiences. Furthermore, the company truly goes out of its way to treat you like a VIP throughout the entire visit, covering a remarkably nice hotel stay and providing a generous stipend to ensure you are completely comfortable.
