I applied through university. I interviewed at Cargill in Sept 2016
Interview
The interviewer was really friendly, and warned me the previous day when I set up the interview that they ask behavioral based questions. I was glad she gave me the heads up, otherwise I would have been completely unprepared as I have never had behavioral questions before.
