I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at C.H. Robinson (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2015
Interview
Very long, it lasted about four hours with a few quick breaks between interviewers. The interview started with a short introduction to the company. Then I sat with two different account managers for a half and hour each to observe what they do on a daily basis/weekly/monthly basis. After that, there was a short interview with mostly behavioral questions- very repetitive and hard to answer. The last portion was a situational activity where they gave me a fake company with a certain task and I had to propose solutions and pretend to work with a client- fairly easy and it seemed like the purpose was to see how the candidate can think on their feet and be creative. Overall the interview wasn't overly hard but there were so many opportunities to ask questions and it seemed like they were unsatisfied when I ran out of questions to ask them about halfway through the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you disagreed with a colleague or coworker about a task and how you resolved it.
recruiter phone screen → 1–3 interviews (behavioral, sometimes case/technical) → final panel or hiring manager interview; may include assessments or presentations. there was an in person meeting at the end at the office
Positive, very clear about interview process and role expectations. Transparent about culture and pay structure. Felt inviting and warm. Pretty easy interview, they just wanted to know more about me and if my personality would fit in well with the culture and team.
Good interview. Liked how professional the recruiter was. Also liked how professional the process was when go to the in person interview. Happy with the company's interview process and their people.
