      Management Interview

      27 Jun 2014

      Santa Fe Springs, Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Santa Fe Springs, Los Angeles, CA)

      Interview

      Contacted via phone after posting my resume online. Had two very brief and easy phone interviews before being invited to the LA location. Wasn't sure what to expect, and the reviews here on Glassdoor scared me a bit. They flew me out to LA and put me up in Manhattan Beach (which is a smart move on their part since Manhattan is one of the nicest places in LA and a far cry from their Santa Fe Springs location), sent a driver to get me, and took me to the building/warehouse/call center. I was not expecting much, but in the end I was sincerely impressed with their operation. The company has been around for over a hundred years and is family owned. (It seems that they pay well for all positions, but that in return they truly expect you to tow the company line.) Anyway, back to the interview. First off there was a brief tour of the facility with a manager, followed by several 45 minute interviews, including a lunch interview. Overall, nothing was too difficult, they just really want to see how you think and if you'll be a good fit for their culture and share a similar work philosophy.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at McMaster-Carr

      Interview

      Very Easy basic behavior stuff. Asked me to describe myself and how I am as a leader in different spaces. Told me I needed to be an individual who doesn’t look to be told what to do next but rather self initiates their next move individually in order to be successful at the company.

      Question 1

      Describe me a time you worked in a professional space and were told you needed to improve. How did you react?
