      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr

      Interview

      From a few years ago, but the experience was so striking that I had to leave a review. I had a phone screen and then was flown out for a full day of onsite interviewing. During the onsite, I met with 6 different employees and was matched with an employee for an informal lunch interview. There were a lot of behavioral questions, and I actually liked the interview process as I felt it was reflective of the work you would actually do there - many of the questions were like "what do you think this process is used for? Why do we do it that way? What would you improve?" However, what stood out was the huge performance by the senior most manager at the end of the day when he "discovered" all of my interviewers were white males, and insisted that was not reflective of the company. He then paraded me through the company grounds insistent on showing me that there were women/non-white individuals who worked there. It was extremely awkward, especially when he could not find any except a few interns. The experience put me off the whole company and when I spoke with 2 other women who had interviewed there around the same time they said they had the exact SAME experience, right down to being walked through the company grounds. I am not sure if this was the quirky behavior of one interviewer, but would not consider working at this company solely because of this experience. I hope the practices have changed since then.

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Robbinsville, NJ)

      Interview

      Make sure to ask lots of questions. It is very easy to be "duped" into thinking that you are doing well, but you have absolutely no idea. Seems like an amazing gig, and they definitely want to hear you stress and talk about the work-life balance.

      If the university you chose was your "first choice" as well as what other offers you had.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Cleveland, OH)

      Interview

      They flew me out for it and put me up in a hotel and everything. Then the interview was a full day - someone was assigned to greet me, give a tour, eat lunch, and three different interviews getting more and more senior throughout the day. Lots of questions for examples of times when I … and pulled straight from the prep they send.

      Question 1

      We noticed a trend that we are sending a lot of calls to different departments - how would you suggest fixing this?
