Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Grainger (Buffalo Grove, IL) in Oct 2020
Interview
They moved along the process really quickly, which was nice. Within a week of applying, they got back to me, scheduling the first interview. The first interview was an hour long with some of the managers you may work with. I heard back the next day that I was invited to the second interview, which was a couple of days later. The second interview was 3 hours long, talking to 3 managers for an hour each. One hour was spent on a case study, assessing how you would handle a business situation. After the second interview, I waited two weeks before hearing back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is an example of a time you had to collect data and make insights based on it?
Phone screen. Caller set up appointment, process went fairly smoothly. I didn't get the impression that the interview actually knew much about the position. But they seemed to know what type of questions to ask to get employment history.
