I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Emerson (Saint Louis, MO) in Jan 2017
Interview
Almost horrific....the sly HR person asked "We have a great relocation package, we pay for a house hunting trip, how many will be coming?" within 10 minutes of the interview. I suspect, but do not know, that they using this information to assess my marital status....I can't possibly think of the necessity of acquiring this information within 10-15 minutes. I suspect that this information is valuable because the job requires alot of travel.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We offer a great relocation package, and we pay for a house hunting trip, how many of you will be coming on that trip?
After applying online, I received an email inviting me to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview lasted about 30 minutes and primarily focused on behavioral questions. The interviewer asked about my background, experiences, and how I handle certain workplace situations.
Usual interview process, multi interview rounds, last round in person 1 hour sessions with managers, 3 to 4 hours in total. First round hr screening over the phone, second round conversation on the phone with hiring manager, and third round was the 3-4 hour inperson interview.

Question 1
How would you deal with a co-worker that was being difficult to work with?
Was easy and short.
There were only 2 rounds of interview.
Then did ask technical and lidership questions. Hiring manager was very polite and had a positive energy.
Thanks Emerson hiring Team.
