I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Interlake Mecalux (Chicago, IL)
Interview
First round with HR was ok, second round with the head of HR was terrible. The Head of HR was dismissive and asked several inappropriate questions, including how I was paying rent while unemployed and whether I pursued my master's degree just to maintain my visa status. The conversation felt judgmental and focused on personal circumstances rather than my qualifications. Candidates deserve to be treated with professionalism and respect. I decided not to move forward either the process after this.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Interlake Mecalux (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2026
Interview
Quick interview, generic questions, nothing too precise. Presentation of the company, as well as their work enviroment. Projects they are working on and how a day at work is like. They describe the role they were interviewing me for and then started asking resume related questions and to explain how I would fit for that position.
The hiring process consisted of an initial HR round, followed by a technical round, spanning a total duration of one month. The HR interview was not good because the one interviewed me did not seem much interested.
