Interview
I applied online and a recruiter sent me an e-mail a few weeks later with the salary range for the position. A couple weeks later the recruiter contacted me again to arrange a phone screen. I talked to a Sr. Safety Specialist for less than half an hour. That same day I was contacted to arrange the face to face interview. The face to face interview was 1:1 with 3 different people. Each person asked questions for about an hour. So the interview lasted about 3 hours. .
Overall, it was a standard interview process. There are 2 interviews: 1. with the recruiter and 2. with the managers. The recruiter was very nice and made me feel comfortable.
