I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at International (Warrenville, IL)
Interview
Questions are asked by a panel and responses are requested in a STAR (Describe the Situation or task, Actions you took, Results from those actions and what you learned) format. Question topics included Negotiation, Communication, Organizational Agility, Customer Focus and Comfort around Higher Management. You may have a phone screen followed by an onsite interview with a panel of managers and peers. If they are interested in you, the next phase is to meet with several of their directors and that was one at a time for me. So meeting with the directors required several return trips to their facility. For me it was a total of four trips before an offer was given and negotiating started. From start to finish the process was more than 3 months until a final agreement was achieved.

Interview
Telephone screening, followed by on site interviews. Met with hiring manager. Met with peers of hiring manager - sometimes in a group setting. Met with hiring manager's boss. Did not meet any of the direct reports that reported up to this role. Questions focused on employment history. Company did not use scripted questions from HR, such as observable situational behaviors, such as share an experience where you needed to make a decision with less than all the relevant information.
