I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Carrier (Mebane, NC) in Jan 2024
Interview
The interview process was very long and drawn out. Each interview had a few days in between before I would hear back from the hiring manager. Overall good but wish it was shorter.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Carrier (Leatherhead, England) in May 2021
Interview
The interview was quite unprofessional. First of all, I couldn't present on the projector as that room was taken which was quite disorganised and put me under pressure to sit right next to directors as opposed to stand and present. On top of that, the internet was down, and took almost 10 minutes to transfer my presentation file from one computer to another.
The presentation was heavily economics-based and the director wanted more advanced research which was not as easy to find online. This job was advertised for an Internship but Carrier had a different view which was more of the chosen employee to do a lot more than an intern based on the interview. I feel that the Operations Intern advert asked too much for an intern and would have required a lot of workload for small pay. The advert/interview was misleading and they should have changed it to an Operations Manager rather than an Intern role.
It was only a week later or two that I saw the same job avert advertised again. Clearly, they couldn't find anyone. Maybe that was because it was too much for an 'intern'. Really need to consider changing the job title name for what it's best suited for.
