Entrevista
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter after application submission. The recruiter asked me a few questions such as experience in shift work, salary expectation, and whether or not I am all right to work at night. A personality test was sent to me after I submitted my answers. Few days later, a recruiter called me for an onsite exam. The exam was 3 hours long using computer and had 12 sections; 12 sections were timed, and graded as pass or fail. After a few days later, I was called for an interview. Four people interviewed me, and questions were consist of basic questions such as "Tell me about yourself" and behavioral questions. Afterward, I had to do a physical exam. It was about lifting 40lbs objects, squatting, pushing, pulling and using a hood.

One interviewer gave me a list of tasks and asked me to place the order that I would do first. Afterward, I had to explain my reasons of ranking those tasks. It was an open-end question.

I submitted an online application, received an invitation to interview, and met on Webex with 6 people. They were very professional, enthusiastic, and answered my questions about the position. I only had one interview before receiving an offer.

Entrevista
I arrived 15 minutes early, as requested by one of the HM's. I sat in the lobby waiting to be called in. All the workers who passed by were all friendly; it seemed like a great place to work. They brought me in to a room of 5 people...mostly young people, at the level of position I was applying for or slightly beyond it. They introduced themselves and asked that I do the same. They asked some pretty basic behavioral questions (What are your best strengths and 3 biggest weaknesses?), which I wasn't prepared for. Note to the interviewer, even if you have a great internal reference you should always have canned answers to these questions prepared at a moment's notice when interviewing for a job. They also asked some ethical questions, to which the answer was blatantly obvious. It almost kind of felt insulting to my intelligence that they would ask me such a question, and my demeanor probably shifted for the worse at that point, being slightly annoyed. Overall, however, it was rather informal and they were very nice folks.
