      Management Trainee Interview

      Aug 27, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Atlanta, GA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2014

      Interview

      Contacted by recruiter after posting my resume online. When the recuirter called she asked for a time to set up a phone interview. Did the phone interview at the same time. The next day was contacted to fly out to the location (ATL). Flew out to ATL about 1.5 weeks later. Given a tour of the warehouse, and shown some of their processes. Very impressive. Met with about 4 people in one on one, culminating with an interview with the branch manager and finally a lunch with 2 managers (which was really an interview). Very good experience and seems like an aggressive, but great culture.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you think we have different call centers? If we are out of X item and a customer wants X item how will you work with him/her? How do you think this widget got in this bin? What has interested you the most on this tour? What decisions in your past do you regret?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr

      Interview

      Made it past phone call screening and had a one-on-one chat with a current manager before final round of interviews. Each round was 45 minutes to an hour long and questions were difficult. Have lots of examples ready. Have different answers ready for similar questions.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      The interview process was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. I really appreciated that the discussions were fully behavioral, allowing me to naturally draw on my past experiences. Furthermore, the company truly goes out of its way to treat you like a VIP throughout the entire visit, covering a remarkably nice hotel stay and providing a generous stipend to ensure you are completely comfortable.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      One behavioral interview with a recruiter and then a day-long onsite interview at the Elmhurst IL location. Superday has two behavioral interviews, walkarounds and more but feels like you're being observed everyday.
